Weekend of Baseball in Columbus
On Thursday we packed up the minivan and traveled down to Columbus for the state baseball tournament. At first it was to be located right in the heart of Columbus but due to Co-vid 19 many small towns had agreed to take on an age group of teams to host. We ended up in a town near Newark, Ohio. The park was beautiful and the fields were great. Being down south was a great chance for Aunt Sharon, Uncle Larry, Amy, Gavin, and Samantha to sneak over and watch the boys play. The love having them there to cheer them on.
Thursday we won one game. Friday we won one and lost one. That put us in the gold bracket for the “win and keep playing” chance for a state championship. Saturday we won our first game and then our second game came down to extra innings. Landon and Carter were both up to bat that inning and I was so nervous but they both came through with some big hits to help lead their team to victory.
Sunday we started off early with a 9am game and by the end of the first inning we were down 11-2. We ended up climbing back into it with a final score of 13-8...a loss for us but a great game. Landon came in as the closer for the last two innings.
Safe on the steal
A third place finish out of 22 teams...not to bad for these dudes!
A great weekend full of sweat and baseball!
