Cincinnati<br />
<strong>Mets</strong><br />
It was a warm and early Sunday morning.<br />
The sun was shining brightly over the left<br />
field. We got to the field and the whole<br />
other team was there already practicing<br />
and ready to go, and we just started<br />
tossing. We started warming up and our<br />
coach came by and said wow you guys are<br />
looking tired, and we were. We had three<br />
games the day before and the other team<br />
only had 2 because they got a bye. The<br />
game started very slow for our team with a<br />
2:4 score and we were losing.<br />
Both of our hits were so far were triples<br />
and they both ended up scoring. We had no<br />
more hits for the next 2 innings. The final<br />
score ended up to be 7:4.<br />
VS<br />
Hilliard<br />
Panthers<br />
The Hilliard Panthers have apparently a<br />
very long history behind their name and<br />
the coaches. They were created in 1997<br />
from “a growing and thriving community.”<br />
There idea of the name Panthers came<br />
about due to the need for additional<br />
opportunities for those boys that wanted to<br />
play baseball at a higher level of difficulty<br />
than what was offered by the recreational<br />
league, which they were currently in. With<br />
the rapid population exploding in Hilliard,<br />
it was easy for some to see that more<br />
opportunities were needed in the<br />
community.<br />
2019<br />
Projections<br />
2019 projections: Last year we won 40<br />
games lost 13 and tied 2. This year we are<br />
expecting to play around 65 games overall<br />
and about 10-20 tournaments. We also got<br />
moved up to a league called Premium, it is<br />
a higher league than gold but lower than<br />
national. It will much harder than last year<br />
so we will have to step up our game. Our<br />
coach described it as a target on our backs<br />
like teams are coming for us and gonna<br />
give us there all since we are 2 time mets<br />
team tournament winners and state and<br />
won a bunch more tournaments.

ANDERSON METS
The Story<br />
Behind<br />
One<br />
AMAZING<br />
Head Coach
Head coach Pete Muehlenkamp<br />
Head coach Pete Muehlenkamp is not head coach for just one team. Yes, Pete coaches two teams. He<br />
coaches the Anderson <strong>Mets</strong>, and his former team the Sycamore Aviators. The Anderson <strong>Mets</strong> is<br />
currently a 13U team, and the Aviators is a high school varsity team. Pete Muehlenkamp went to<br />
Sycamore when he was in high school, and played baseball there. He graduated From Wisconsin<br />
University, and started coaching his first team in 1992. His first team he coaches was the junior high<br />
school sycamore baseball team.<br />
Inspiration<br />
Pete was very inspired to even start baseball because of former baseball player Pete Rose. He was<br />
amazed on how the game was played and how it worked. As pete grew up he still played the game, and<br />
in high school his he met his head coach Steve Imhoff. He was one of the best coaches Pete has ever<br />
seen. Steve's amazing coaching inspired Pete<br />
to coach when he grows up. And that's what<br />
he did. Pete now coaches with Steve imhoff<br />
at Sycamore High school. Steve has stayed<br />
at Sycamore all these years and is now<br />
coaching with a player that he used to<br />
coach himself.<br />

All Star has been around since<br />
day one of baseball. They were<br />
one of the few companies that<br />
made baseball gear and it’s one of<br />
the most popular baseball brands<br />
yet today. For many reason but<br />
the 2 main reasons are the quality<br />
of the gear and the price. Allstar is<br />
very affordable with all of their<br />

Letter to reader<br />
Hello, our names are<br />
Nick Lewis, Leo<br />
Muehlenkamp, and<br />
Parker Elliff, and we<br />
play baseball for the<br />
Cincinnati <strong>Mets</strong>. We<br />
love baseball. All three<br />
of us have been<br />
playing together for 4<br />
years. We all have<br />
been playing baseball<br />
since we basically<br />
could. It is our favorite<br />
thing to do not only<br />
play but hanging out<br />
outside of baseball.<br />
I, Leo Muehlenkamp<br />
fell in love in baseball<br />
just watching the<br />
Cincinnati Reds on<br />
TV. My dad has been<br />
the varsity head coach<br />
for many different high<br />
schools and has taught<br />
me many things I need<br />
to know. I started<br />
playing baseball as a<br />
Tball player when I<br />
was very little, and has<br />
not stopped playing<br />
since.
My name is Nick<br />
and I have been in<br />
love with baseball<br />
ever since I started<br />
playing it. I am<br />
mainly a pitcher,<br />
catcher, and<br />
outfielder. My<br />
favorite position is<br />
probably catcher. I<br />
would not be where<br />
i am today if i was<br />
not on the mets, not<br />
only because of<br />
playing baseball<br />
but the people that<br />
are on the team.<br />
My name is Parker<br />
Elliff. The first time I<br />
played baseball I knew<br />
that this was going to<br />
be my favorite sport. I<br />
play Outfield, Infield<br />
and I pitch. If I did not<br />
play on the <strong>Mets</strong> I am<br />
not sure where I would<br />
be with baseball, not<br />
only did the <strong>Mets</strong><br />
make me better at<br />
baseball, but the<br />
people on the team<br />
made me a better<br />
person.
