Just returned from Nacogdoches and calling in
the 16U ASA State tournament. We had 34 teams.
Big Bad George was UIC. My first game was a
team from your area Joel, Texas City Speed.
This game took place at 7:00 PM Friday. Last
seven plays of the game - bangers at 1B - I am
BU, all were outs and only one did I hear about
from either side - guess that went well.
Next game on Friday - actually Sat AM 1:05 had
plate - had good game no problems. Well, maybe
one. At umpire conference told partner I would
take pickoffs at 1B. Says ok, no problem. Told
him he had pickoffs on 3B. His reply... what if I
am in A or B position? I begin to worry.
Rest of Sat. and remaining 5 games I was involved
with went very well, left playing field at 3:57AM.
Sun. Like Joel was scheduled for IF, but it would not
take place until (scheduled) 5:45PM Sun, sooo with UIC
permission gave it away to local.
Good weekend - lots of heat with index well over
100. Have AFA State tournament in Beaumont this
coming weekend and the AFA 18U National starting
July 26th running through August 5th. Taking a
break then till Nov. unles, something comes up
cant refuse.
Joel, congratulations to Lauren and team on their
success.
Hows Katie?
