A player has to be alert on the field as Stone Buckeye third baseman Paul Graham proves in covering the bag as Brian Kerr of the Dixboro Dragons races down the base-path. It just goes to prove that an infielder has to be ready for anything, a pop up, line drive or a throw to the bag.

Just because the players are a little on the young side doesn't mean that they can't play a good game of baseball. Benton Thomas, a second baseman for the Mitchell Roadrunners, is ready for any situation that might come up in the infield. In his crouched position, he can move either to his left or right with equal ease. His coach is pretty high on his future potential in baseball.

Making a barehanded stab at a ground ball is shortstop Jeff Schlimmer of the Mitchell Roadrunners. Such a fielding play can mean the difference between an inning ending out and a big rally.

Waiting around in the field can get a little tedious at times as Stone Buckeye player Renda Tousner finds out in a recent game. But you can bet that the young player has his eye right on the baseball at all times.

While two spectators watch the action in the background, a close and exciting play develops in the infield at the Pioneer High diamond. Jack Glaszko of the Burns Park Bombers slides safely into the bag while two Eberwhite Rocket infielders, Mark Heiber (with glove) and Brian Weston await a throw to make a possible tag. However, the peg was too late to catch this speedy nine-year-old baserunner.

A bad throw pulls Stone Buckeye first baseman Dean Presson off the bag which allows Dixboro Dragon baserunner Johnny Mitchell to take an extra base. What the young players lack in skill, they make up for in enthusiasm.
