To kick off the weekend, we had Orlando Magic tickets for Friday night against the Pistons. Bradley loves JJ Redick but normally when we go to the games, JJ sees very little playing time. Not so this time (maybe Miranda was the good luck charm). JJ saw a bunch of playing time and we got some great pictures - even one of Dwight Howard fouling Villaneuva! Better yet, Bradley managed to get not one, but two t-shirts during the game from the Flight Crew, which never happens and they don't usually throw any shirts in our section. (The second one was a total fluke that hit something and fell in his lap!)
Saturday we took to the fields for our state tourney. We had two tough pool play games and were glad to finish 1-1. Bradley pitched 4 innings in one game and then played left field during the second game. Sunday morning pitted us against the EP Cobras who beat us badly both games a few Sundays ago. This morning we sent Bradley to the mound and he pitched an amazing game - going all 5 innings we played and leading his team to a 4-3 win. Bradley had used up all of his 9 innings of pitchinig for the weekend.
We then had a two game break before facing the Hitting Academy Rebels who have won all three tournaments they played in this fall. Our boys put up a good fight and played defense, but the Rebels didn't miss any plays in the field and we only managed three baserunners during the whole game. Bradley entered this game in the fifth inning and played second base for the first time all year. He did a good job, listened to the coaches and held the runners on when necessary. We hung in and took the game all the way to the sixth inning but still lost 7-0. Our boys didn't have any reason to feel bad though but now know how hard they need to work to compete at the top level of baseball in Florida.
