“You can’t win ’em all” a coach from another Strike Zone team said to Drew on his way out of the 3 and 2 baseball complex this evening.  “You’ll get the next one…you made it to the championship game and that’s what’s important…keep your chin up”  I guess that can be difficult to sink in to a little 8 year old brain sometimes.

We matched up with the Sharks again which was the team we defeated for the championship in last weekend’s tournament.  The Sharks played awesome.  Sometimes your opponent just goes out there and does everything right.  That is what happened today.  The Bulldogs played well too but couldn’t match up to “everything right.”

Drew Boo, you played like a champ today, gave it your all and so did your teammates, you got a nice medal, and your team got a cool Louisville Slugger bat trophy!  You had a lot on your plate this weekend with soccer tryouts in addition to this tournament so you should be so proud of what you accomplished.

Your coach mentioned the Bulldogs have two 1st place finishes, two 2nd place finishes, and one 3rd place finish.  I think that is quite an accomplishment for a newly formed 8 year old baseball team!  That’s a heck of a lot of great baseball you’ve played this season!  Go Bulldogs!

The weather did get a little dicey just before the championship started today.  A HUGE gust of wind came through and took down multiple tents and scared all the little kids out of their minds (and Jake!).

And a bonus to this weekends baseball, Brian got to coach 1st base because our normal coach was out of town.  Anytime he gets to coach, he’s thrilled 🙂

P.S. even as I write this, Drew’s chin is up!
