Baseball or Bust

Wow, what a week we've had! We ended the regular baseball season and started tournament play last week. Unfortunately, we lost our first game. But, the tournament is double elimination, so we had a double header that night and won the second game (smoked them). We wound up playing the Gardner Blazers, which is the team we usually scrimmage. Our record against them was 1-1 during the regular season, and we are pretty evenly matched. It was an exciting game and emotions were flying! It went back and forth, but we wound up in extra innings and finally won. Carson had a triple and he was "the wall" at catcher. He made several outs and nothing got by him. He got the tying run to start them off. Jeff coached them perfectly and rallied those boys to keep them going. Following that win- we played the Vipers. We had lost twice to them in the regular season, they were the #3 seed going into the tournament. But, we played hard. Again, the game went into extra innings and the boys fought hard for the win. Carson had another triple and played amazing at catcher. I think Jeff had to check his blood pressure after those 2 games, but it was really fun and the best baseball I've seen, ever. Go Grizzlies! We had our end of season party and awards ceremony at the Cole's and the boys had a great time! Carson got all the boys to sign the game ball from our win against the Blazers that started the comeback- and gave it to Jeff. I thought that was really special=)
