Saint's Bistagne Signs with Twins!

Hey There Saints Fans! Harry Doyle here! We'd like to take a minute to acknowledge Saints Alumni Brian Bistagne. On June 17th, Brian signed a professional baseball contract with the Minnesota Twins.

Brian played baseball for Saint's Coach Milam at St. Francis HS and then went on to Glendale College, where in a small-world, Brian played for Coach Chris Cicuto, a college teammate of Coach Milam. Following that, Brian continued to Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee.

Bistagne, the 2008 winner of the NAIA World Series Gold Glove wasted no time accepting his offer and getting down to business. He is already in Florida set to play for the Ft. Myers team in the Gulf Coast Rookie League.

"I'm told I'll play shortstop and some second base," he said. "They said I needed to shorten my swing and learn to play small ball.

Congratulations again Brian, we're all very proud of you here at home!

The Saints head to San Diego this week to take on opponents in Baden's Best of the Best Invitational Tournament. We'll keep you posted with their status.

Until next time sports fans, this is Harry Doyle, saying, Keep it Easy and We'll See you at the Brook!

The Saints Start Out on a Roll!

Ahoy sports fans, Harry Doyole here. Your Saints are off to an amazing starting going 7-0 over the 2 weeks. With solid outings from their 3 weekend starters (Woodward, Becker, and Goossen-Brown), the Saints have swept Trombly APS and the Ventura D-Rays. They've also taken the first of three against the Bombers Black.
The Saints are back in action Tuesday in the second of three against the Bombers Black. Campbell Hall's Tyler Johnson will get start. Thursday is the first of 2 games against local rival the Arcadia Astros. Alemany's Sean Becker will get the start, but the outing will be a staff effort.
This is Harry Doyle, signing off. Stay tuned for more on your Saints...and, as always...We'll See You at The Brook!!!

Sprint to the Finish!

Hey There Saints Fans! Well, San Diego was beautiful. The Saints played some decent baseball, but their bats only decided to show up either all at once or not at all. Maybe it was the fact that I saw.....mmm...maybe not?

We leaed some new things about the team this weekend:
1) Boomer and Shuster both drive go -karts that sound like a bike with a poker card taped to it.
2) The bigger the field, the farther Palffy will hit the ball...but it still wont leave the yard.
3) Messmore eats A LOT of food and likes to take walks.
4) Coach Cyr really dislikes being lost in San Diego.

The Saints face off this week against an American Legion team from New York in a 9-inning exhibition game on Tuesday, July 1 at Brookside. The rest of the week is TBD, but regardless, the Saints will finish their season on Sunday at Brookside with a double header against the Bakersfield Baseball Academy.

Until then, this is Harry Doyle, saying, Keep it Easy and We'll See you at the Brook!

Let's Kick Off Baden's Best of the Best!

Ahoy, hic up, Saints Fans. Tough start for the Saints this week, dropping a well pitched game against the Astros on Tuesday. Oh, well...a little bird told me they picked our signs. I guess Coach Milam and his staff should get that figured out...too many Chiefs, not enough Indians.

Anyhow, on to the next. Thursday, the Saints head to San Diego to kick off Baden's Annual Best of the Best Tournament. The Saints open Thursday, at Grossmont College, against Arizona Desert Mountain Baseball. Check out the rest of the Tournament Schedule on the Saints schedule page. I'm goin' with 'em to make sure no one goes to Mexico!

We'll be back next Tuesday for a game against OTC Legion from New York.

Until then, this is Harry Doyle, saying, Keep it Easy and We'll See you at the Brook!
