After scoring 19 runs in our first two games, the boys could not find their bats against the Inverness Crackers (I am still hoping that these guys have Ritz as a corporate sponsor, otherwise their name is just disturbing!). According to Coach Joe, the Crackers' pitcher "was the toughest he's seen in this age group." By my guess, the 6-foot-plus kid was throwing heat close to 70 MPH. So in a tough draw due to their great games earlier in the tournament, the Scorpions were eliminated in the 4-0 loss. On the positive side, Troy pitched a heck of a game!
The boys should walk away holding their heads high, as the Crackers have just one loss this year, going 13-1 entering the tournament. Guess who beat them? The SCORPIONS, in our last tournament.
With 4 games left for the year, we're 6-1 in our last 7 games. As Joe says: "Finish Strong!"
