Unfortunately, no. I was there watching, however. For that game, I was hovering around the 3rd base side, watching the angry/upset/happy/cheerful/a$$h0le with the video camera right behind the backstop.

Crap, sorry I didn't get to introduce myself. My brother and I watched from the picnic tables in right center. Talked to the winners bracket coach for awhile.

Aah - you found the only shade in the outfield. So you probably heard the story about the 3rd place team?

Nope. The only story I heard was a protest that went against a friend of mine.

Aah. Well, the SoCal Pumas were one of the undefeateds coming in for an 8am game Sunday. One of the coaches and 4 girls were driving, getting on the freeway when a drunk driver going the wrong way up the on-ramp hit them head-on. Coach broke his forearm, and the girls in the back were bumped up pretty good. Nothing was life threatening or serious.

They wound up forfeiting the winner's bracket final, but got enough girls to rally and play in the loser's final. They lost that game 7-5, and got 3rd place in the tourney.

There is whining on other boards about how the ASA screwed over that team as they should have held the tournament and given them the opportunity to play instead of forfeiting.
