scored in the fi fth inning to give Cottage Grove
a 4-1 lead.
But Elmira quickly erased that defi cit in the bot-

He’s very coachable and wants to get better.”

players are missing from each game due to other
summer confl icts. But Geiszler said that he is still
very pleased with the turnout — about 19 kids per
game — and the opportunities to see what others
can do when given the opportunity to play.
“You kind of feel like you’re starting over, es-
pecially when you have so many incoming fresh-
men, because you’re reteaching a lot of things,
