Hawks Win First Game of the Season!

Hawks,

USIP started the season off with an 8-4 victory over IRI Tuesday night, thanks to solid hitting, awesome defense by the infield, and several clutch catches from the outfielders. Thanks to all the players and fans who came out for the game! Many thanks also to Kathleen, Craig, and Jeff for transporting players and equipment downtown and to Tyler and Jim for volunteering to play for IRI so they could field a full team.

Our next game is Thursday, June 3 against the German Marshall Fund. We'll play at the field at 23rd and O, where we played Urban a couple of times last year. It's near the woods, so I promise to pick up some bug spray before the game :) Hope you are able to make it--we played GMF in a tournament last year and they were really nice and fun to play against.

Have a great weekend, and I'll be in touch on Tuesday to find out who's in for the game.

Game Today!

Hawks,

Just heard confirmation from IRI that we’re ON for today’s game! We’ve had volunteers to stake out the field early, so we’ll stick with 17th & Constitution as the location. Please take down my cell (803-493-2456) in case we have to move and you aren’t with the group.

We’ll meet in front of the building at 5:20, with hopes of actually leaving no later than 5:30.

The roster is below—please let me know if your status has changed, or if you plan to arrive late or leave early.

Let’s make the first game a win! Go Hawks!

Subject: Game Tomorrow!

Hawks,

Wanted to remind you about our first game of the season, which is TOMORROW against IRI. The tentative location is 17th & Constitution. Please let me know if you can make it! We’ll plan to meet in front of the building at 5:20 and walk down to the field.

If anyone with a vehicle is able to drop off the equipment and a few of the players in a vehicle, please let me know—the help would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone is able to leave early to claim the field, that would be fantastic.

Go Hawks!

First Scrimmage!

Hawks,

Thanks to those who made it to practice on Saturday--after a few ominous clouds, the sky cleared and we had a beautiful morning on the Mall.

We're a GO for our scrimmage against the Forest Service team this Thursday, May 13! Our tentative location is 17th & Constitution. If anyone is available to snag the field let me know, but otherwise we'll plan to meet there between 5:45 and 6:00 so we can warm up a bit before we start playing.

Please let me know if you can make the scrimmage!

I know we're being encouraged to telework on Thursday. I'll plan to come to the office late afternoon to pick up the equipment and cooler. Please let me know if you'll be leaving from the office, so I know whether I'll have help rolling everything downtown--I'll plan to head out around 5:15. There is also a chance of rain but we'll just have to play it by ear.

On that note, if you have not yet filled out the team survey, please do so ASAP--we are inputting everyone's cell phone numbers into an automated system so we can send mass text updates on game statuses, locations, etc. The survey is here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDd5VzJEWENRQ3VpSF9Da2ozaVFmQXc6MQ

Thanks, and Go Hawks!
