Championship

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The Bucs earned the 3rd seed in the tournament and earned the bye that comes with it.  Because of that, our first game was not until 12:30.  I tried to sleep in some and we took it very easy this morning.  We had to be there at 11:30 so we left the house around 10:30 to stop at the bank and go to Donut Taco Palace.

The Bucs dominated the first game, winning 14-2.  Evan played well.  He scored at least two runs but I think he scored three.  He played primarily third base in the game but also some second base.

We had some time off before our second game, the semifinal game.  The team that we were playing was the other top team in the tournament that was rained out a few weeks ago.  Apparently they've been wanting to play us.  We jumped out fast to a 5-0 lead.  Evan walked in his first at-bat but was stranded at second.  He legged out an infield single in his second at-bat.  After an inning and a half we were up 9-0.  The final score was 11-5.  They scored a few runs at the end of the game well after the game was decided.

We tried to get fruit and water into the kids in the 15 minutes before the championship game.  The team the Bucs played in the championship were very experienced.  They had a pitcher who totally dominated.  Our kids were having trouble catching up to his pitches.  On top of that, he was highly accurate getting many called strikes.  Evan played well defensively at second base the whole game and the whole team played good defense but it was too hard to overcome and we lost.  So the Bucs took second place in a 12-team tournament.  They should be proud of themselves.

As we were getting in the car we got the text that Rachel and Noah had landed.

Evan and I stopped at Subway on the way home.  Evan said his stomach was eating itself it was so hungry.  Evan ate well.

By the time we got home, Rachel and Noah had gotten home and they picked up Subway for themselves.

The kids are now asleep after their long days.

Until next time...
