These boys played better than I've ever seen them play this past week. They went undefeated in the tournament! They run-ruled every game except the championship one. They hit well, fielded well, and worked together great as a team. Here are the scores from the games (they played Sunday - Friday, excluding Wednesday):
13-3, 18-6, 16-4, 16-0, 13-1, 14-4, 7-6
The championship game was quite a nail-biter. We had played the team 4 or 5 teams in our league tournaments, and had never lost to them, but this game they came playing harder than ever. The game must go through 7 innings, and in the bottom of the 7th we were tied, 6-6. We were the home team, so we just had to score ONE run and the game would be over. The first batter out in the inning (Mason #22) hit a walk-off homerun on the very first pitch! Everyone was ecstatic and the boys couldn't believe what had just happened. They came in 4th place last year in this same tournament, and to win it was a great achievement for them!
This was their last season as a team, because in 8th grade the boys start playing for the school. It was a great way to end the season and 3 years as a team. I love all these boys and I'm going to miss them SO much.
