COACHING OBSERVATION 2 1. Provide all the important information about the contest you are observing: who is playing, when are they playing, where are they playing, etc. The baseball game held on April 22nd, 2023, at Jaroschak Field, was a notable contest between Rider and Saint Peter's. The contest was marked by Rider's potent display of power, and Saint Peter's resourcefulness in mounting comebacks. The game's early stages saw Rider score a single run in the first inning, courtesy of a double play by B. Skettini that allowed S. Shaw to cross the plate. However, Rider's offensive effort intensified in the fifth inning, when A. Paskell homered to left field, securing an additional run. B. Skettini's subsequent home run brought in two more runs, setting Rider's score at 4-0. Saint Peter's launched its comeback in the fifth inning, as A. Abbatine's single to the right side facilitated R. Stapp's run. N. Markanton's sacrifice fly-out enabled J. Vitiello to score, narrowing the gap. J. Eichler's triple to left field brought in A. Abbatine and J. Vitiello, resulting in a tied game at 4-4. S. Haney's groundout to shortstop then permitted J. Eichler to cross the plate, awarding Saint Peter's its first lead of the game at 5-4. Rider's fortunes shifted again in the seventh inning, with S. Bardatsos delivering a massive homer, generating four runs and a score of 8-5 in Rider's favor. In the eighth inning, S. Shaw's double to left field ushered in two more runs, putting Rider up 10-5. A. Paskell's ninth-inning single to right field scored two additional runs, securing a final score of 12-5 and the Rider's victory. 2. List all the members of the coaching staffs for both teams: head coaches, assistants, operations, player development, etc. Include a short biography of the head coaches for both teams.

Provide a narrative about the behaviors and demeanors of the Saint Peter’s head coach & the opposing head coach.

Discuss what you observed in terms of in-game strategy. What did you notice about the x-s and o-s of their coaching? Use of timeouts? Substitutions/pitching changes? Were there any decisions that you disagreed with?

COACHING OBSERVATION 6 It seems that both teams employed different strategies throughout the game. Rider, who scored 12 runs, seemed to focus on hitting home runs and taking advantage of the opportunities when the bases were loaded. They hit a total of 3 home runs throughout the game and scored a total of 8 runs in the 5th and 7th inning combined. This shows that Rider's strategy was to focus on offense and to take advantage of Saint Peter's' pitching. On the other hand, Saint Peter's, who scored 5 runs, appeared to have a more balanced approach. They had more hits than Rider (10 vs 8) and also had a higher batting average (.278 vs .250). Saint Peter's' strategy seemed to be to focus on getting runners on base and moving them around with sacrifice flies and base hits. In the 5th inning, they scored 4 runs with 4 consecutive hits, including a triple by J. Eichler. In terms of pitching strategies, both teams used multiple pitchers throughout the game. Rider used a total of 5 pitchers while Saint Peter's used 4. This suggests that both teams were trying to keep their pitchers fresh and avoid fatigue. Overall, it seems that Rider's strategy focused on offense and hitting home runs, while Saint Peter's employed a more balanced approach of getting runners on base and moving them around with hits and sacrifice flies. Both teams used multiple pitchers and made strategic substitutions throughout the game to gain an advantage over the opposing team. I agree with how the Coaches played their respective games because there was a lot of strategy there and I do not fully understand the pros and cons of their respective strategies. 5.
