Oregon Vacation

June 13, 2009 by Mike Snyder | No Comment(s) | Post a Comment

Karen and I cashed in a wedding present from Jim and Gingie Palmer: seven days in Portland, Oregon. Being able to spend some time with Karen was the best part, getting quality time together is tough during the work week. We drove all over the city and surrounding communities, deciding Sherwood was our favorite. We then drove East to The Dalles just to see if it looks the same as it did when I lived there in 1985 (it does). In Portland we were able to see an old friend on mine, Chris Vitron, for the first time in over 20 years. We’re older, but basically the same.

Tim’s First No-Hitter

March 18, 2009 by Mike Snyder | No Comment(s) | Post a Comment

Our little Timmy pitched a no-hitter yesterday, a first for San Marcos High School! From the North County Times:

San Marcos High left-hander Tim Berry pitched his first career no-hitter on Tuesday, blanking Calexcio 5-0 in the Pirate-Falcon Classic. The senior, who will pitch for Oregon next year, struck out 17 and walked three. The no-hitter came one week after an 11-0 shutout in which he threw a six-inning one-hitter with 12 strikeouts.

“I just try to go out there and get the win,” Berry said. “The difference today over last week was my defense played stellar and my catcher, Nick Berkelo, played amazing. He was phenomenal.

“Things are feeling good. I’ve got great confidence in myself and the team. I think our team is coming along really well. I just feel like I could go out there and attack hitters and we are going to make the play. I’ve been working hard toward this season, and it’s starting to pay off.”

Knights coach Jeff Dufek said Berry is overpowering hitters. “He just has really dominant stuff right now,” Dufek said. “He kind of felt it toward the middle of the game and just didn’t let up.
