eHarbor, Inc. softball humbled by 2 losses

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

By Robert Lockard

After its 26-0 blowout victory on May 27, the eHarbor, Inc. softball team was humbled by two losses, one on June 3 and the other on June 10. The good news is that tonight our team has a chance to return the favor to the team that beat us by more than 10 points on June 3.

  • One eHarbor player batted 1.000
  • Three of our players went 3 for 4
  • One of the players who went 3 for 4 hit 3 doubles
  • One player hit an out-of-the-park home run

Tonight’s game will be our last game of the season before heading into the post-season playoffs. Our record is 6-3 right now, which is pretty good for a company that focuses on ecommerce and online marketing. Speaking of which, we’ve got a great blog entry on search engine optimization and computer viruses on Friday. Stay tuned to the eHarbor Blog!

Triumph after defeat for eHarbor, Inc.

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

By Robert Lockard

eHarbor, Inc.’s softball team suffered its first loss on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 to the only other undefeated team in the Provo/Orem area’s recreation league up to that point. We lost by the closest margin for either team this year: 11-14.

Last night, however, our team bounced back, redeeming itself with a stunning blowout. Expect more eHarbor victories as the season continues.

I will return to ecommerce and online marketing on Monday with an awesome blog post about changes coming to the paid-search industry. Stay tuned!

After winning by a 15-point margin in its third game, eHarbor, Inc.’s softball team set a new record by winning its next two games to maintain a perfect record this season.

eHarbor played its fourth game on May 6, 2009 and its fifth game a week later on May 13, 2009. The scores of the two games were 16-5 in the fourth game, and 27-17 in the fifth.

Highlights of the fourth game:

- Five players batted 1.000.

- One player went 4 for 4 with an in-the-park home run.

Highlights of the fifth game:

- One player hit a ball out of the park for a home run.

- Two players batted 1.000.

- In its first inning at bat, eHarbor went through its batting order 1.5 times.

- This is the fourth game eHarbor has won by 10 points or more this season.

As I mentioned in one of my first blog entries, eHarbor’s slogan for 2009 is “Swinging for the fence.” Our softball team is doing just that. Our success on the baseball field is symbolic of our success in the field of online marketing and ecommerce.

Our next game will be on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 in Provo, Utah. The photo of an eHarbor player hitting the ball is from the fifth game.

eHarbor softball team goes 2-0

Friday, April 24th, 2009

By Robert Lockard

Two weeks ago I mentioned eHarbor, Inc. won its first game of the softball season in the Provo/Orem recreation league. On Wednesday, April 22, 2009 our team played its second game.

We were supposed to play our second game last Wednesday, but, amazingly, it snowed several inches and made the field unplayable. Snow in spring! Global warming, I guess.

Our softball team took the field Wednesday at 9:15 p.m. and kept swinging for the fence until we won 21-16. We’re now 2-0!

The game’s highlights included:

- Four eHarbor players batted 1.000.

- Two players hit home runs. Mike Sorenson, a Submit Solution representative, got an in-the-park home run, while Calvin Russell once again hit one into the parking lot.

Our team’s next game is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 6:15 p.m. Hopefully we won’t see any snow this time.

This is my 30th blog entry on the eHarbor Blog. We’ve come a long way in the past three months. I’ve been talking a lot recently about social media, news media companies like the New York Times and, of course, ecommerce. I thought I’d take a break from that hard and heavy stuff to talk about other things I find interesting – things that make me happy.

I hope you notice the tag logo we added to the eHarbor Blog. You can see it in the address window above. We made it using Favicon.

eHarbor softball team wins first 2009 game

Friday, April 10th, 2009

By Robert Lockard

eHarbor, Inc. has a tradition of playing softball in the Provo/Orem area’s recreation league. It’s a fun way for eHarbor employees in different departments to come together and build teamwork. In March, eHarbor’s team re-formed and on April 8, 2009, we played our first game.

And we pretty much blew out the competition, winning 13-3.

One employee in particular, Calvin Russell (who works in the support department), really swung for the fence and ended the game with a home run. It’s so cool that eHarbor employees can not only achieve great results in their web-design projects and online marketing, but also spend time excelling in fun activities like this.

The team’s next game is scheduled for April 15. Hopefully we’ll triumph again on the field, just like we do in our ecommerce business.
