Good Stuff


Well, we had a super busy week last week as we had multiple events going on including a 15/16 AAA Baseball World Series, Pride home games, Registration for our 16/18 Elite Baseball World Series, and Registration and Opening Ceremonies for our 10, 12, 14 Fastpitch World Series and preparation for this week's SlugFest events. Whew! We all worked very long and hard last week. On Sunday, we kicked off the Fastpitch World Series with our opening ceremonies that featured an appearance by our USSSA Pride Pro Fastpitch team as well as Jennie Finch, Lisa Fernandez, Stacey Nuveman and Stacy Nelson. Bradley was VERY excited to meet Stacy Nelson. After a marathon rain delay(s) the Pride finally finished the game we started at Noon around 8:30 pm. Thankfully this week has been better as the Pride are on the road so that at least has freed up the evenings a little so we can get to bed at a decent hour!

We Are the Champions!!

Bradley's baseball team won the USSSA 9AA World Series on Saturday! Oh what fun we had as the boys went 6-0 during the tournament! They really played great all week. Bradley didn't pitch as well as he would have liked but he played an awesome first base all week and hit and bunted very well. We're so proud of the Braves! We started off the event last Sunday evening with opening ceremonies at the stadium at our office. The Pride team came out to help and the boys (9, 10, 12 and 14 years old) really loved that. One of the perks of working for USSSA is Bradley's team was named the host team for the event and he got to throw out the first pitch!









































But as you might have guessed, there's never any rest for the weary and we went straight from the baseball field to pick up the football equipment and have weigh-in and then followed that up with the Pride game. Bradley's team was recognized at the Pride game for winning their World Series and his coach threw out the first pitch.






It's been a very busy week and weekend but lots of fun nonetheless.
