A-ROLL Eastview baseball has always been thought of as an intimidating team to play. By the sounds of it, this year should be no different. I caught up with a few kids from the 9th Grade A team last year and what their thoughts are for their upcoming year, and the family they have built by playing baseball. Joe Schlosser has been playing baseball since he was 4 years old. He has never even had the thought of quitting, solely based on the pure love of the game. “It’s a fun time to hang out with friends and play sports that we love to do. We all know how to have fun, but at the same time, are able to focus on the task at hand, which is winning games.” Josh Chatfield is the same way. Growing up, he always loved playing ball, and would always jump at the chance to try new things.  “I play 2nd base, pitcher, outfield, and the occasional left-bench. I think the team uses me to my full potential, and I think so too, considering we have done well in the past.” Everyone wants to win, but no one knows more about the art of winning than Grant “Cheese” Martinson. He has always thought of things that the team needs to do in order to win, and this year is no different. “To score 5 or more runs every game. I think that is reachable, considering that we have had a really great offense all these years, and it should stay the same way!” With the winning attitudes that these guys and the rest of their teammates have, I don’t see how this team of brothers, couldn’t have another successful season. For the Flash, this is Derek Schiebel.
