Friday was the Elementary County track meet. Bradley was supposed to be in three events - discus, long jump and a relay race. They overbooked the discus and he didn't get to participate. He did participate in the long jump but we had to wait two hours for his turn! We never heard the final standings but his longest jump was 10'3". He did participate in a medley relay and ran the first leg - with his team finishing third in the race. Thankfully the meet was at the high school across from my office so I could go back & forth and get some work done in between all the waiting. TR was in St Louis for the Men's Conference tournament and it rained them out Friday. He did get to go up in the Arch though!
Saturday was a beautiful sunny day for baseball here in Central Florida. Our boys were playing in an "Open" division tournament where a couple of the teams were from the division above us. We lost our first game 5-1 on an error in the outfield late in the game - Bradley pitched the first three innings and did an amazing job. We were tied when he left the game. We won our second game easily which seeded us second after pool play. Sunday is elimination day and the boys played well the first game. Bradley was sitting and resting as he was going to pitch in the Championship game. He did come through with a pinch hit single to help his team on their way to a win. So the Championship game is a re-match of our first pool play game. Bradley took the mound and did a good job but the other team was anticipating his start and they were hitting. Our boys played great defense but the Panthers made every play in the field - including a double play from third to first in the last inning. It was a great game but the Panthers held out to beat us 7-4.
The rain finally stopped in St Louis although it was a little chilly. They should be getting the video of the game up on the website for viewing soon - check out www.usssalive.com for TR's handy camera work.
