The tournament began on Tuesday. J missed Tuesday and Wednesday due to being away at camp at UF. But Coach C kept hubby and I in the loop, so we knew TP won their first game, 3-2, and lost their second game, 3-2. Thursday we headed over for the third game, which ended in a 6-6 tie. Friday morning they played hard and won that game, 5-2. They were in 10th place in their pool of thirty teams going into today's single elimination rounds. Today's game started off with a bang and they had 3-0 lead for the first half of the game. Unfortunately, the opposing team was playing as hard as TP and managed to tie it up by the 4th inning. A well placed hit in the bottom of the 6th gave the other team a three run lead. As the visiting team, TP failed to score any runs in their last at bat and they lost 6-3.
It has been a great summer season. This team has the best 16U record in Top Prospects history. Coach C has been a phenomenal coach and the boys have learned so much this summer. He told them today how proud he is of them and that he's looking forward to continuing to coach them this fall and next summer. We'll have about an eight week break til our first fall tournament. The fall season will be a bit different since Coach C will be away at college. He's planning on doing five weekend tournaments between September and November. he'll either come home if the tournaments are local or meet us at whatever part of the state we're traveling to. I'll of course be posting about our experiences this fall. I'm sure it will be just as much fun as this summer has been. In the meantime, here's a team pic taken after today's game.
