Trophy for first in league

I wish I was going to be writing about us taking first in state...However, things went terribly wrong. We started with pool play 4 teams in 4 pools. The top 2 move on to bracket play. First game was a win. Second game we were ahead 8-2 in the last inning. The coach decided to let the kids that don't get much play time, play, and those that liked different positions, try them. Poor Kelton was pitching. He walked 2, struck out 2, then a couple kids got hits off of him, the team had 3 errors, the coach moved Kelton to 2nd (which he doesn't play), and Kelton ended up getting the 3rd out of the inning...however, we LOST 9-8. This was a huge upset, both for the parents watching, the kids, and a surprise for the league. The next day, we had a game with the last team in the pool. This team, lost to both the teams that we played the day before. It came down to the team we beat must lose for us to move on. The team that beat us used their worst pitcher (I swear knowing if they won or lost they would go on-if they lost we would for sure be out, since we would both have 1 loss and they beat us.) They were blown out by the team we won the first night....hence we were out. SAD SAD SAD. So here are some pictures of Kelton getting his trophy from league. He tried out for a "Super League" team a couple weeks ago and made it. So fall baseball, here we come!
