PALL Hometown Heroes 2003

Hey, You, want a smoke

No thanks, they make me choke

I heard that it makes you pale blue

And drugs are really bad for you

It just takes one puff a day

To make you feel that you're not okay

At any age drugs appear

Thousands of people die a year

Drugs can kill you by making you sick

Throw them away now, quick, quick, quick!

Thank you to my DARE Officer

For the next 4 innings, the players were getting the bat on the ball, however, the fielding was very good from Canyon Creek. . Staring the Bottom of the 6th, trailing by 1 run, Aaron Hafford took a walk, then David Camarena was hit by a pitch, he was ‘OK” and took his place at 1st and advanced Aaron to 2nd. This set the stage for Greg Dillon who had a “textbook” bunt that “loaded the bases”. Chris Keck took the plate but never did see “his pitch” and was walked, which brought Aaron Hafford in to tie the game at 1 all. Taylor Menzel then stepped into the batter’s box, took the 1st pitch for a strike and on the 2nd delivery hit a ground ball to the 3rd baseman that knocked him down, which brought in the winning run.
