We’re landing a little late in your feed this week, but we brought plenty to squawk about!
Our two 13U Lady Eagles teams faced off Saturday in a fall showdown packed with smart, aggressive baserunning, strong pitching, great defense, and a comeback that kept everyone watching.
Gold built the lead. Red brought the rally. When time ran out, Gold held on for a 13–9 victory, handing Red its first loss of the fall. Different jersey colors, plenty of competitive spirit, and one Lady Eagles family showing how much these girls have grown.
Now we’re trading a little diamond dust for Halloween fun! AGAA will be at two trunk-or-treat events this week: Lansdowne Middle School on Wednesday, October 28, and ArBOOtus on Friday, October 30. Come say hello, show off those costumes, and help us bring some Lady Eagles spirit into the community!

Read the Gold vs. Red game recap
Gold took control early, building an 8–0 lead through three innings. But Red wasn’t ready to let this one get away.
A six-run top of the fourth brought Red right back into the game. Gold answered with two runs in the bottom half, taking a 10–6 lead into the fifth.
Red kept pushing, scoring three more runs to close the gap to 10–9. Red hoped to get three quick outs and another chance at the plate, but Gold added three runs in the bottom of the fifth before time expired, securing the 13–9 victory.
Strong pitching, sharp defense, and aggressive baserunning made this a hard-fought matchup. Gold earned the win, and Red showed the determination that has become its calling card this fall.
Plenty of competition. Plenty of heart. Plenty for the whole flock to be proud of.

“Watching Kenzi grow from last fall ball to now has been amazing. She is developing her pitching skills every time she puts her feet in the circle. She continues to stay on her toes wherever we put her on the field—and continues to keep me on my toes when I get the text, ‘Wanna see this bruise?’ knowing she did something before a game that I’m going to shake my head about.” — Coach Katie
Beyond the Wings
Danny C From the Keyboard to the First-Base Line
Coach Danny on the field with the Lady Eagles.
This week, we’re recognizing Danny C, 13U Red’s first-base coach, a volunteer helping keep our home fields ready for everyone, and the guy behind the AGAA website.
Danny stepped in over the summer to help design, create, and launch the league’s new website. But his work doesn’t stop when he steps away from the computer. You’ll also find him coaching at first base and helping make sure our home fields are ready for game day.
Like the other volunteers who saw that our commissioner could use a hand, Danny offered his time and got to work. That willingness to help makes a difference—for our players, our families, and the people keeping AGAA moving.
Of course, we can’t overlook his other title: the slowest GameChanger operator in the West. Coach Ian, he’s working on it! 😂
Danny, thank you for showing up online, on the field, and wherever another set of hands is needed.

Keep Your Hands Up Through Your Load
As you prepare to swing, let your hands move slightly back without dropping them below your back shoulder. From there, bring your hands forward into the swing and finish balanced.
Work slowly enough to notice what your hands are doing. The goal is a controlled, repeatable movement before adding speed.
This week’s challenge: Take five slow tee swings, focusing on keeping your hands up through your load. Reset between swings, repeat the set, then gradually add a little speed while keeping the same control.
“Small adjustments make strong swings.” — Coach Danny
