It has been a great season & not only because they've been successful. But Ryan has really enjoyed playing with this group of boys & he's learned a lot from our coaches. Hopefully this has all prepared him for high school baseball next year!!
Here's the team at this weekend's state tourney in Gardner, KS. We were the #1 rank in the state (due to all the tourney wins). And, we had played & beat 12 of the 16 teams in this tournament earlier in the season. But, we were missing one of our best pitchers & 1st baseman - a great big kid we call JoJo. He had a family wedding in Seattle this weekend. And, we had several kids nursing injuries. We went 1-2 and didn't make bracket play. We had a 10 inning game (we only play 7) & had we won that game, we would have advanced.
This was supposed to be our last tournament for the year. But the coaches are now thinking to do one more so we can finish on a high note (hopefully). It has been an all-consuming season for Bruce & me since we've spent every weekend at the baseball fields. We haven't even put new flowers in our planters yet!! But we've enjoyed watching Ryan & the boys play and the parents on our team are really fun too.
