Blake had his first challenge ball tournament this past weekend. What a whirlwind it was! It was HOT! There were 4 teams in the tournament and it was held at MARA in Matthews. Our first game was at 11am on Saturday morning. The kids played GREAT! You could tell they were all having a great time out there playing ball! The Pirates won the first game by the 10 run rule. :) GO PIRATES!
They had about an hour and a half break before playing another game at 3pm. Several of the players and their families came out to our car to grill hot dogs. :) Steve tends to go all the way!
The second game was a bit tougher. We played Indian Trail and had scrimmaged them in the past. It was ugly. The boys got beat pretty bad, but you could still tell they were all having a blast! We hurried home for a good nights sleep before starting all over on Sunday.
Sunday we had a game at 2pm against one of the MARA teams. The kids played great and the score was pretty close but we lost. :( Since we lost that game, we played again at 4pm. Yes, that meant back to back games. The kids had about 20 minutes to rest before starting all over again. It was hot and all the families were melting in the stands, but the kids were having a ball! We ended up finishing the tournament in 3rd place. I think the Pirates did GREAT for this to have been their first tournament. Now, let's see how much we can improve before the next tournament Memorial Day weekend!
GO PIRATES!
