Dynamite Blue vs. Dynamite Orange Showdown

Thursday night we had our 3rd game of the big State Tournament - and we faced off against our own league's other team - the "Orange" team.  They are a tough team and we scrimmaged them twice before the tourney and lost both times.  Needless to say - we were all nervous and excited for the big game!

We lost - 13-9 - but the boys played so amazing!  It was tight - within 1-2 runs the entire game until the last inning - when they snuck 2 more in and we just couldn't make it happen at our last at bat to catch up.
However - Shaun played so great at 1st base!  He was like VELCRO out there!  Nothing getting past him (okay - 1 got past him - but that's it in the entire game and he had a lot of action last night!)

He did better at the plate last night too.


So many of our boys were great and it was such a close game until the end that it was really fun to watch!
Our Boys were sad they lost - but had such great attitudes and really, really loved the experience of post-season play and competition!

Friday our Dynamite Orange team faced off with the Scottsdale "A" team that beat us our first game - so we were cheering Orange on to take them out and move on to the Championship game.  They did it - and then met a VERY tough Ramms team in the Championship and fell a bit short.  Boy was it all fun to watch though!

It was such a fun time the past month and I can hardly believe there is no baseball next week.  .....  No Baseball?  What - Ever - Will we do with all our time?!?

Oh my goodness, that was such a fun game to watch. And you are right, now what do we do with our time? Maybe remember to eat dinner ;)
Thank you for all you did, without you it wouldn't have been so successful. Know your time and energy is appreciated.

First time here but I will come back, if you don't mind.
