Okay, we had a GREAT weekend at the ball fields. Friday we had a great travel ball practice then dinner with our group at Beef's. Saturday morning we headed to the field for our two pool play games. This was an Open tournament with teams from all divisions. Since we are in the AA division we knew this would be a tough event but on Sunday the bottom 6 teams in pool play would be split into their own championship. We lost 8-5 to Matrix Black on errors & walks. Then we faced the Winter Garden Warriors (cheaters!) and we were definitely ready for this rematch. Our boys fought hard and won 12-10. We ended up 1-1 in pool play (along with alot of other teams) but we gave up a lot of runs (18) and ended up in the lower flight for Sunday.
We enjoyed a cook out at the Goerner's Saturday night since we didn't have to be at the field until noon on Sunday. Our first opponent was Winter Spring Matrix Purple and we owed them as they seemingly had our number although, in my opinion, we are definitely the better team! This game was very tough and we had to go into an extra inning using the International Tie Breaker but we were home team and won the game 7-6.
Our next game was for the Championship against the Central Florida Wolverines AAA team. Our boys came out hitting and Alec hit his first homerun over the fence! Bradley caught this game and did a great job. More importantly, he hit a double, scoring Jalen to end the game 10-2 in the 4th inning. He had a great weekend - batting .667 for the tournament!
Here's a team pic- will post the celebratory pictures once I receive them from our official team photographer Tawnya.
