Greenville Baseball Tournament

What a week of baseball this was. We played Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday. The boys placed 2nd in the tournament. Their first game and the final game were played against a team I'm certain was cheating with players out of their age bracket. Our boys lost 4-5 and considering the size different between the two teams, our boys won. They played harder than I have ever seen them play. It was really sad to see them receive their trohpies. Our boys were so proud of themselves - they wore smiles, tears, exhaustion and dirt. It was a long day of ball but a game that will be remembered always.
Now take a moment and study these next two pictures.... I was told by the League Reps that these boys are supposed to be 11-12 years old. I am not lying when I say this very kid was as tall as their coaches, as big as their coaches and had a goatee. No lie. And most of the team was around this size; they had maybe 3-4 boys the same size as our boys. So you can imagine the competition and how hard our team worked for that 4-5 loss.

And what do two sweet, mischievious children do at the ball fields for hours at a time? Why they dig in red dirt of course! Look at Colton's white feet compared to his legs. These two had so much fun and were such troopers this weekend.

With all this said, Seminoles won 2nd place and advance to the next round. We play again July 8th. There are five total teams and the top two advance. Cheer for us!!

And because I want to remember Cam's stats for this tournament because they truly are incredible:
.714 batting average
.857 On Base %
5 hits, 7 BB's, 3 RBI's, 6 runs scored, 6 SB's, and 1K in 14 plate appearences.
