Well, the Osceola Powerhouse travel team has begun play. On Sunday, March 7, we played a doubleheader to get our boys ready for the tournament last weekend. They won both games which gave them a lot of confidence going into last weekend's tourney.
Last week was very busy for everyone - Bradley had FCATs, TR had high school games at the field and we had a director's seminar at work which included dinners on both Thursday & Friday. The Powerhouse uniforms were delivered Friday - just in time for the tourney this past weekend. The team met on Friday night for some batting practice and received their uniforms. From what I h ear, the boys were VERY excited. Saturday afternoon we headed to Leesburg for the tourney. Our first game was pretty ugly as we got whipped 16-0 by the eventual tournament champion. Our second game was much better as we won 14-0. Around 7 we left the field and headed for the hotel and dinner. The boys were super excited to be playing ball and staying in the hotel. We finally managed to get them to bed realizing that we would lose an hour of sleep but we had a decent draw and didn't play until 11. Our boys came out and played hard - winning their first bracket game behind some great pitching by Pedro. We had to then play another right away. We ended up losing by one run, long story including a cheating team, to the team that eventually came in second. All in all, we are very proud of how our boys played. Our "newbie" parents got to see it all this weekend - we got mercy ruled, we mercy ruled someone else, bad calls by the umpires, the opposing team cheating, a kid from the opposing team getting ejected and one of our parents getting ejected! WELCOME TO TRAVEL BASEBALL!
We have another busy week ahead. The little league team played last night and won their first game of the season! The boys were down 8-0 and came back to win 16-13. We have another little league game Wednesday night and will cap off the week with a travel ball doubleheader on Friday against a team visiting from Canada.
It was too much for us to try and get pictures this weekend so hopefully I will have some to post after Friday.
