Weekend Baseball

This weekend was a baseball tournament in Liberty, MO. Christopher plays for the Mac-N-Seitz Indians 8&U team and they were on schedule.

Friday was the 1st game at 7:45. It was an easy win for the boys, and everyone went home happy.

Saturday it was a bit chilly when they played at 2:30. They played a very good team ...and it was a close game but again, they won.

Sunday we knew that it was going to be cold, but no one could have prepared us for how cold and miserable it actually was. We arrived at 10:30am and it was raining, windy and about 40 degrees. Within 5 minutes everyone was soaked and freezing. The boys played hard and won their first of 2 games that day. The championship game was next. It was so cold that every other team playing in the tournament called their games and left. The rain kept coming down and they kept playing. Some of the moms and I were covering the boys in blankets in the dugout...even though they were wet blankets it was better than nothing. The boys were shivering so badly. The game should have been called....but they wanted to play, so they played. In the end, they lost the championship game by one run. It was a sad loss after playing so hard in such harsh conditions. I am really proud of the boys...all of them. They demonstrated such a huge amount of dedication and teamwork.
