Some Hornet Credit

Last Saturday we met up with our friends Doug & Meta at The Breeze to watch the VCU v. Butler basketball game. While we were visiting, Doug mentioned an article that he read in the Herndon Patch about the Herndon Hornets' win against the South Lakes Seahawks. Dan & I had not read it or even seen it. Doug said he mentioned it because they had interviewed one of Dan's pitchers who threw a great game; Dan is the pitching coach for the Herndon Hornets baseball team & this is his first year with that title. When we got home that evening, Dan looked up the article on his cell phone & when I read it I was so proud of him. Here is the section of the article that mentions Dan:

"Tyler Reif pitched brilliantly for the Hornets for three innings. He struck out three and gave up only one hit—a solo home run in the top of the second to Nick Beaulac for the Seahawks' only run of the game.

“My coach just tells me to go out there, pound the zone, throw some strikes, keep my off-speed down,” Reif said. “It is just good pitch calling from Coach Coghlan. He does a great job with all the pitchers and catchers, keeping us in the game.”

How great, huh?! Dan has been so excited about this year's baseball season because his good friend, Greg, became the head coach this year & he is always talking about what great kids they have on their team. The Herndon Hornets record (per their website) is: 4 wins & 0 losses. If you live in the area & want to check out one of their games, click here for their schedule.

Go Hornets!
