We spent this last week at a Nationals baseball tournament. 120 teams from around the country, with 40 teams in our age group. We had a blast trading pins & playing a TON of baseball
- 7 games this week. We ended up being placed in the Gold division, after a tough start and a VERY tough bracket. We were beat in the game that would put us in the winners division of the Gold bracket, and ended up playing for 5th place in the Gold (in large part due to an EXTREMELY poorly called game by an umpire that apparently just wanted to go home!) Not making excuses here, but even the other umpire apologized to us! Don't mind losing when we just get beat, but it really hurts when it's due to poor officials!!! Anyways, that game put us in the top end of the losers bracket, playing for 5th place in Gold. We played that final "championship" game today & played a fantastic game, winning 9-7. Cade pitched the last two innings & pitched a no-hitter, to clinch our win - facing only 7 batters in two innings (1 got on on error)! It was a great team effort & the Twisters kicked some major butt, coming in ahead of many AAA teams! Good week!!!!!
