Let's Go Pride!

So I will freely admit that I am behind on the blog - however I have good reasons.

First, let me bring you up to speed on Bradley (since that is what most everyone is interested in anyway). His baseball team played in an Open tournament last weekend - for those that are not familiar with baseball, in the 9U division there is an open division (upper level) and the AA division (lower level). We have been playing in the AA division all year. During pool play, we went 1-1 and the game they lost a big part of it was errors and mental mistakes. After a thorough tongue lashing by their coach they picked it up and won the second game. Back to the park on Sunday for a big game against our rivals the Panthers who normally play in the Open division. Bradley hit a triple in this game, scoring two and the he scored, helping his team to a 6-3 victory. We lost to a very good Open team - Team Combat in the semis. The boys were very happy with their performance overall.

For those of you who haven't heard, USSSA is now the manager of a women's Professional Fastpitch team - USSSA Pride. We have many great players on our team, including Olympians Kelly Kretschman, Caitlin Lowe and Monica Abbott. Everyone except Monica Abbott reported to spring training here in Florida this week. TR and Bradley have been VERY busy all week preparing the fields every day for practice and assisting the team in anything they need. From what I hear, Bradley is a great help and has shagged balls and helped the girls with soft toss in the cages. Yesterday I did get to go out to practice for a little while and it was amazing - can't wait for their season to start.

Stay tuned for pictures of Bradley & TR with the girls.
