Game 2: The Kent Little League 9/10 Year Old All-Star Team won their second game late Tuesday night under the lights defeating the undefeated hometown team of Glenwood.

Logan Vargus was 3 for 4 with 2 RBI's, Daniel Tanaka was 2 for 2 with 3 RBI's, Jordan Jones was 2 for 3 with 1 RBI and Matthew Mollenberg was 1 for 1 with 1 RBI. Shane McGuire and Derick Welch each added a double for another 3 RBIs. All 10 of Kent's runs were earned. Their next game is Thursday at 5:30pm. GO Kent! |

| 7/21/2008 | BB 9/10 Year Old AllStars Update: Washington state Baseball 9/10 tournament in Vancouver, WA. Game 1: The Kent Little League 9/10 Year Old All-Star Team got off to a great start in the state tournament as they defeated West Seattle Little League All-Stars 27-0 in 3 and a half innings. Jordan Jones pitched a super game striking out 7 of the 14 batters he faced and the rest of the Kent defense behind him did their job to help hold West Seattle scoreless. Kent's offense was explosive! They got off to a pounding start scoring 11 runs in the first inning with 9 hits, 2 of them home runs (a 3 run home run and a grand slam home run) both by Shane McGuire. The second inning at bat for Kent was a little less forceful even though they scored 3 runs, but in the bottom of the third inning, Kent again rallied their bats and exploded for 13 more runs off of 11 hits and several walks. Of special note: Every player on the Kent All-Star team had a hit in the game. Jacob Rohweder and Eric Engman were 4 for 4 and Shane McGuire was 3 for 4. Jordan Jones, Isaac Hegamin and Matthew Mollenberg were 2 for 3 while Daniel Tanaka, Logan Vargus, Ethan Lewitt, Ryan Anderton and Garrett Stewart each added a hit. Kent had a large number of family and friends there to support them and we want to thank each and every one of them. Vancouver is not a quick drive and with the price of gas these days we know not everyone can make it. We know there is support here in Kent and we want to keep everyone up to date so keep checking the website. Kent's next game is Tuesday night at 8:00pm under the lights against the home team Glenwood who has won their first two games. Go Kent! |

| 6/13/2007 | BB Majors (Jayhawks) Win Disrict 10 TOC 2nd Consecutive Year: The Kent JayHawk majors baseball team won the Tournament of Champions last night against Steel Lake 8-2. This is back to back wins in TOC for the JayHawks of Kent. The JayHawks were visitors last night enabling them to score first. Jordan Cowan led off the game with a line drive single. Michael Tanaka then doubled off the wall to score Jordan. The JayHawks went scoreless in the 2nd but came back scoring in the 3rd with a leadoff walk to shortstop Jordan Cowan then a double by 2nd baseman Reese McGuire. 1st baseman Michael Tanaka then hit a screaming single to left center to score Jordan and Reese. In the top of the fourth inning Robert Weston hit a 2 out single, Jordan followed with a double and Reese followed that with a triple to score Robert and Jordan. Steel Lake scored in their half of the 4th with a solo home run. In the 5th inning pitcher Kyle Anderton lead off with a deep solo home run himself to left field. 3rd baseman Tony Madeo hit a hard double and later stole 3rd on a past ball. The 6th inning started off with Reese McGuire hitting a home run to left center field and that was the last run for the JayHawks in the game. Steel Lake added one more run in the bottom of the 6th on a fielders choice. Kyle Anderton pitched a masterful game allowing only 2 runs on 3 hits and facing only 21 batters in 6 innings. The JayHawk defense was fun to watch with some outstanding plays by everyone. The other JayHawks that contributed to the TOC win but not mentioned above are: Brandon Parks, Austin Perlatti, Samuel Burtis, Bryan Mills and Andrew Spring. The JayHawks are coached by Scott McGuire, Curt McGuire and Jerry Cowan. The JayHawks want to thank all the Kent fans for coming to the games. It was a big crowd last night and the players on the JayHawks appreciate that. |
| 6/12/2007 | BB Majors (Jayhawks) TOC Update: Kent Little League Jayhawks do it again. They won the second game of the TOC beating the undefeated (24-0) Federal Way National team, 6-4. Federal Way scored their first three runs off their first three batters of the game. Kent got off to a slow start and didn't score until the third inning when Jordan Cowan led off with a double and then Reese McGuire was intentionally walked bringing up Michael Tanaka who hit a 2 run single. Kent scored another run in the 4th inning to tie the game when Jordan Cowan scored on a Sam Woods single. Michael Tanaka kept Federal Way scoreless in the second, third and fourth innings. Sam Woods came in to relieve Michael in the 5th inning due to the pitch count rules and shut them down. Jordan Cowan led off the sixth inning with a base on balls, Reese McGuire hit a double, Michael Tanaka was intentionally walked and Sam Woods drew a walk to score the go ahead run. Tony Madeo drew an error from Federal Way's short stop on a hard ground ball to score another Kent run. Brandon Parks brought in the last Kent run of the inning by hitting a hard grounder, fielder's choice to the first baseman. One of the highlights of the game came in the fourth inning when Federal Way's leadoff batter hit a short fly ball to left field that Robert Weston charged full speed and dove for the catch and in the middle of his forward somersault the ball flew out of his mitt into the air and shortstop Jordan Cowan alertly caught the ball before it hit the ground. It was a WebGem of a play! The other highlight of the game came in the bottom of the sixth inning with the tying run on second base for Federal Way and one out. Reese McGuire came in to pitch and struck out the first batter he faced and got a dribbler to Michael Tanaka at second base for the final out of the game. Kent advances to the championship game on Tuesday at 6:00pm at Sacagawea Park in Federal Way. Come out and cheer the Jayhawks on!!! If they win it will be back to back TOC wins for the Jayhawks and Kent Little League. |

| 4/21/2007 | Attention parents of BB Minors AA players as you are well aware your main practice field, Calvary Chapel South, is in dire need of repair. Many of you have expressed safety concerns and frustration of having to use this field. Your KentLL Board of Directors has looked at alternatives such as moving practices to other fields, but the fact of the matter is that there is not an adequate number of alternative practice fields available. The best option is to repair CCS - just a few years ago, CCS was in very good condition and we actually played many BB Minors A/AA games there. The reason there appears to have been no action from the KentLL Board in regards to CCS, is that all Board members are maxed out fulfilling Board responsibilities and coaching/managing their teams, as well as trying to keep their families and employers happy. So, what we need is for someone to volunteer to head up the CCS work party; responsibilities would include surveying the field and making a list of things to do at the work party. KentLL will provide all materials (weed/grass killer, infield mix,etc.) and equipment (back hoe, drags, etc.) needed for the work party. If a volunteer comes forward quickly, we can target the CCS work party for Sat morning, May 5th and move all morning games to the afternoon. Based on the great success of the recent work parties at Ryan Brunner Park and Covington Christian Fellowship Park, the work could easily been done in 2 - 3 hours with 100 adults (10 parents from each of the 10 teams) working on the field. To ensure success, the work must be well planned and coordinated so that materials and equipment arrive on time and that assignments are made and executed. Please contact BB Minors AA Director, Andy Monson, if you would like to volunteer to organize and lead this work party. PS: everyone will be expected to participate in the work party, right now we are just looking for one or more individuals to organize and lead it. |

| 1/12/2006 | The KentLL fundraiser for players this year is to sell cookie/pizza dough. Complete info will be distributed by managers at their initial team meetings - here is a preview. Each player will be required to sell a total 15 items of cookie and/or pizza dough. There will be prizes for selling more than this amount. All sales are done by taking orders (and receiving payments) during a 2 week period early in the season. A delivery date will be determined where a representative from each team will meet at a designated spot to receive product for their team and they should then arrange a spot to meet all their team to distribute the product; each player/parent should then deliver the product to each purchaser - the product is perishable and must be kept frozen at all time. This is a great fundraiser, but it requires close coordination when the product is delivered. http://www.starsandstripesfundraising.com http://www.superseriesbaseball.com/pizza .html |
