I am oh so happy today b/c we do not have baseball practice tonight....tomorrow...or over the weekend! WoooHooo!! :o) Our first four days off since we started the All-Star practices. (and the 2nd day off in the past 11 days) Jenkins is LOVING every minute of it....while I find myself sweating my butt off just watching the 2 1/2 hour daily practices. But the kid loves it...so I'm happy that he is happy!
Last weekend the boys played in the "Jefferson Coach Pitch Tournament". Our first game was Friday night at 6:30pm....and we beat Cheraw 21-0. We played Florence A (Maple Park) on Saturday at 10:30am and won 12-5. We won our 3pm game against Lee County 4-0 and then got a 'bye' to the championship game at 8pm. Of course, the Championship game turned out to be Hartsville Northern vs Hartsville National. We won 4-2...but boy, was that a tough game!
The only bad part about the tournament (other than the heat...and boy, was it ever hot!) is that Jenkins had to play against his REL friends (again)! I hate when that happens! I can't not cheer for Jenkins' team....and I can't cheer against the Lee County boys either so what do you do?! The Lee County team is AMAZING this year and I'm wishing them all the best at District next week! I'm hoping they make it to the State Tournament since that is the next 'official game' that our boys will be playing in.
The Hartsville Northern League is hosting the state baseball tournament for AA Coach Pitch/Machine Pitch baseball this year so we have an automatic 'bye' until that tournament begins. We do not play in the District tournament so for now, we just sit back ....practice, practice, practice until July 9th when those games start. We got our new snazzy uniforms in this week and the boys look FABULOUS! Jenkins is most excited over the flat bill hat (which by the way, I hate!)
Okay...I'll admit it! I'm one proud Mom and he is one handsome boy!!
