About the Dawgs Organization
Welcome to the Big Spring Area Dawgs (Dawgs) suburban
baseball and softball league from Newville, PA. Players from the
Big Spring Area started the journey into the Suburban League baseball
in 2009 with only 2 teams; a 12U and a 14U division baseball team.
It was an exciting but educating 1st year for the Dawgs.
2010 brought many changes such
as; more teams, more fields and better competition. In 2010 we
had 3 baseball teams; our 10U team was coached by Carl Helman
and Tracy Black, our 12U team was coached by Brett Black and Mike
Piper and the 14U team was coached by John Shannon, Mark Pifer,
Scott Schoyer and Kyle Kotzmoyer. Also, for 2010 we had 2 girls
softball teams that joined our suburban league as Lady Dawgs.
The 12U softball was coached by Mike Gutshall and the 14U team
was coached by Jim Ruff.
Last season in 2011, we began with 3 Dawgs baseball teams and
1 Lady Dawgs team. Mike Piper coached the 10U level baseball team
(Mustangs). Carl Helman and Tracy Black coached the 12U level
baseball team (Broncos). Bret Black and Keith Coyle coached the
14U level baseball team (another horse,... Ponies). And, Mike
Gutshall coached the Lady Dawgs 12U softball team.
This 2012 season, we will have one Ponies 14U team coached by
Keith Coyle and Bret Black. We will have two Bronco 12U level
teams. One team will be coached by Carl Helman and Kris Henneman
and the second 12U team will be coached by Mike Piper. And, one
Lady Dawgs 12U softball team coached by Mike Gutshall. We are
looking forward to an exciting season!
The Dawgs are currently using the
Oakville Parks and Recreation field in Oakville for the 10U baseball
team field, the Oak Flat Elementary school baseball field as the
12U baseball team field and the Big Spring High School JV field
is the 14U baseball team field. The Lady Dawgs 12U softball team
is using the Oakville Parks and Recreation field as the team field.
Competition has been fierce, but we have enjoyed every minute
and every opportunity to play some great baseball and softball.
We are pleased with the opposing teams, players and organization
as a whole. We are thankful to the many supporters; Oakville Parks
and Recreation, the Big Spring School District, the dedicated
parents, fans and our sponsors. Please browse our website and
check out our photo galleries as the season progresses, stop by
to watch a game and support the Dawgs & Lady Dawgs!! LET'S
PLAY BALL!!

It's a funny thing about life, if you refuse to accept anything but
the best you will very often get it. ~Somerset Maugham
Winners never quit and quitters never win . ~Vince Lombardi

It doesn’t matter if we we’re down 3-0. You’ve just
got to keep the faith. The game is not over until the last out.

The ballplayer who loses his head, who can’t keep his cool, is
worse than no ballplayer at all. ~Lou Gehrig
When I played ball, I didn’t play for fun. . . . It’s no
pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It’s a contest
and everything that implies, a struggle for supremacy, a survival of
the fittest. ~Ty Cobb
Sweat plus sacrifice equals success ~Charles Finley
Good pitching will beat good hitting any time, and vice versa. ~Bob
Veale, 1966

see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field? ~Jim Bouton,
1988
I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the
ball and started trying to make them hit it. ~Sandy Koufax
Don't forget to swing hard, in case you hit the ball. ~Woodie Held
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is
only a hole in Arizona. ~George F. Will
Well, boys, it's a round ball and a round bat and you got to hit the
ball square. ~Joe Schultz, 1969
It never ceases to amaze me how many of baseball's wounds are self-inflicted.
~Bill Veeck,
When the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name- He marks
– not that you won or lost – but how you played the game.
