Bonus Tournament

Team TP was originally scheduled to play a double header at home this weekend.  However, last weekend, the other team backed out and Coach C found them a tournament to play in instead.  This one is the Torneo DE Estrellas & CFL Championship in Apopka, Florida.  Apopka is only an hour and a half from home and ordinarily we'd have just driven back and forth.  But TP played an evening game tonight and has an early morning game tomorrow.  So we booked into a nearby hotel for the night.  Hubby and I, along with my parents, N, A , and J, cousins M and B, and neighbor R are all here. 

TP completely owned the field in their first game.  We had one three run homer hit and two grand slams.  Their bats were on fire and their defense was solid.  They won the game 15-6.  They are scheduled to play in the morning at 9:00.  Sunday will bring the semi finals, followed hopefully by the championship.  I don't want to jinx them, but if they keep playing like they played tonight, this could be their weekend. 

J played first base tonight and did really well.  I think having his cousins here cheering him on is really energizing his game.  B and M are enjoying the games more than they thought they would I think.  They are not usually baseball fans, but I think they may just be converts after this weekend.
