Gavin's Baseball Tournament

Waiting to take the field

Hitting a double!!!

Coming in for the run

Safe, make sure you touch the plate.

Since Gavin's baseball team finished the season 7-1-1, they did not have to play in the tournament until noon on Saturday. Saturday at noon, are you crazy?!?!? It is going to be hot. Good thing we played on field 2 which has some nice big shade trees. That was a semi-easy game. They won 13-4, which gave us a game at 6:45. A much better time to be playing baseball. This break proved to be a bad thing. We had beat this team in the regular season and they beat us. This put us in the loser bracket for the double elimination tournament. To win the championship, we would have to play 5 games on Sunday. Our first game was at 10:45 which we won 11-9, then we played at 12:50 and won 15-4 (Gavin hit a triple) and then played at 3:00 and lost 6-1. By the 3rd game, everyone was hot and tired. Our boys had been playing in the sun and wind for 4 hours. They had a good run, but with playing back to back games, our time was over. Gavin pitched 4 innings today and only allowed 2 runs. And only hit 1 kid. (2 innings were shut-outs). Of course, I did not bring my camera today. The pic above were from last night. I'm sad to see the season end, but I was not looking forward to sitting outside any longer tonight. Everyone's going to hit the showers when we get home, especially Liam. It looks like he had side burns there is so much dirt on his face.
