Okay - so I am a little behind but we have GREAT NEWS!!!!! The Braves won their first tournament championship this weekend - way to go boys! They all played amazing and it was a total team effort. After going 1-1 in pool play, we arrived at the park early for a 9:00 am game yesterday. All I said all week long was that I didn't care if they lost both on Saturday as long as we finally won one game on Sunday since we just haven't been able to do that. On Saturday, our boys only struck out at the plate twice during the first game and three times during the second game so we expected our hitting to be good. Although we started a little slow at the plate Sunday morning, amassing 9 strikeouts during the first game, they quickly came back into form, winning their first game. I knew at that point they would be hard to beat - our pitching staff was in fine form, even though Bradley and Carlos would only be able to throw a couple of inning the rest of the day, we had several pitchers that still had all of their innings available. The boys came out strong in the second game and turned it on even more during the Championship game. We even won a berth to the State Championship Tournament.
We definitely had a great weekend with lots of fun & laughs. Saturday we arrived at the park to watch Brock's brother, Briar play with his 11U team Osceola Gators. This was their first tournament and unfortunately they went 0-3. The Braves then played two games - we left the park in search of dinner and to check-in at our hotel, along with the Barber and Roe families, and then went back to the park for Briar's last game at 8:00 pm. Sunday found us at the park all day - which no one complained about - and then we went out for a celebratory dinner. We finally arrived home at about 9 last night and we can't wait to do it again!
