Baseball Tournament Champs


Playing right field

Pitching in the 5th inning
On base
Not sure who was more excited... Benjamin or Pop Pop!
The Big trophy!

What an exciting weekend! The travel team Benjamin is on... the Warwick Cardinals played in a tournament this past weekend. They lost their first game on Saturday. The second game went into 3 extra innings to determine the winner... we were happy to squeak that win out. Sunday we won our first game which put us up against the number 1 seeded Donegal team. This team is undefeated in their regular season play. Our boys played their hearts out! We ended up winning 11-10. Benjamin was the first batter up at the bottom of the 6th. He hit a single to get himself on base. The 3rd batter up hit him home for the winning run. Oh, and he was brought in to pitch the bottom of the 5th... 1 out bases loaded. I was in need of some serious heart medicine for that! Third base made a double play to keep them in the game. Benjamin finished out the 6th inning.. one strike out and then 2 other outs on the field by his team. What a day! So proud of you Benjamin and team! Thanks to our faithful fans... the grandparents!!!
