We finished up the 12U AA season this past weekend. What a ride we had - so much ups, and some downs that were disappointing, but these boys worked hard, and we have to remind ourselves that they are 12! So much still to learn and 12 is a tough age (in my opinion!)
Friday we played two games... 1 loss, 1 win. And honestly, they were ugly games. Not very good!! With that loss, we ended up in the Silver bracket. Big bummer, because we KNOW those boys could have done better!!! We were thankful to have Friday evening to recoup and start new!
Saturday - two more games, and those were both wins - and great wins. The boys played well, and everything clicked!! It was a fun day. Saturday after the wins, we headed to Parker's for a 'end of the season' gathering --- and man we had fun. They have a great set up at their house - so many games, a great cul-de-sac, so the kids could just play, plus pickle ball court 'street style' was a hit! We had a good time, and love those Parker's!
And onto Sunday - we unfortunately lost our first game, so then we were done. It was so disappointing... tough strike zone, and just weren't hitting the ball like we can! The boys were frustrated, as we were too. BUT - it honestly has been a great season... lots of learning and more connections with the kids. We ended up in 11th place in state out of 81 teams. I'd say that's a great success!!
We will miss these baseball weekends!!! Onto finishing up summer, and hopefully landing a good basketball team this fall!!
