Saturday morning...beautiful day...all the boys show up with their families a few hours before the first pitch to receive their own bat bags (courtesy of Backyard Bistro) under the canopy of the "players' lounge"...aka The Wheelermobile! They looked very sharp wearing their white pants, white WR hats and navy blue uniform shirts and all were eager to play!
I think I put this on an earlier blog...but as you read these posts just remember that we were the ONLY 7U team at this particular tournament. The rest were 8U teams. That would be 11 other teams!
The first game started at 12:15pm (after our very own 8U West Raleigh Blue) and boy was it a close one.
Here are the highlights:
DEFENSE...
1st inning:
Lawson (2nd base) to Luke H (shortstop) for an out.
Chris had an unassisted out at third base.
2nd inning:
A very nice 1-2-3!
Logan (2nd base) to Ian at first for out #1.
Jacob (pitcher) to Ian at first for out #2.
Logan (2nd base) to Ian at first for out #3.
3rd inning:
Luke H (shortstop) to Lawson at second for the first out.
Lawson had an unassisted out at second for out #2.
Isaac caught a fly ball out in left field for the third out.
4th inning:
Another 1-2-3!
Jacob to Ian (pitcher to first) for out #1.
Lawson to Ian (second to first) for outs 2 and 3.
5th inning:
Jacob caught a line drive at third for the first out.
Trey (pitcher) to Luke H (shortstop) for the second out.
Lukas caught a fly ball in center field for the third out.
The outfielders did a nice job backing each other up and the infield! Hats go off to Jacob, Isaac, Lukas, Lawson, Chris, Logan, Ben, Luke F and Trey!
