Day 195

First day of State Tournament! We win 20-4. The team we play tomorrow just happens to have a player that used to be on our team for years. His family moved last summer after our all stars season. As fate would have it, his new team will meet his old team at the state tournament! Here are the two little brothers who have always been the best of friends! They met up yesterday and did not miss a beat!

Day 190

Tonight we played in the first championship game for our district. We got down 8-0 in the first 3 innings. Our boys were mentally defeated! Even my B! He caught the whole game! I am so proud of him! It was 90 degrees and he suited up - ready to catch for 6 innings! He got so frustrated and down and out!!! This photo is from my phone - camera bag is still in the car! This was taken just before he was up to bat in the bottom of the third! He got 2 strikes on him and then he hit a 3 run home run to start our rally!!!! Our boys fought so hard in the last 3 innings and we were able to come back and win the game!!!! We play tomorrow night for the district win! Let's go boys! Give it your all!

Edited to add...

After Brendan's home run, the other team intentionally walked B:
