Twins Win!

Carter played with Coach Jeff again this season with Brentwood Ball Club (this was Carter’s 10th season with Jeff). Like last spring, they were the Twins. The team consisted of a lot of players we’ve had on the team the last few seasons as well as some new players.

Carter had one of the older teams in the 9/10 year old league (while Rylan was also in this league and had one of the youngest). Carter’s team ended up at 12-3 for the season and second place behind the Cardinals.

The Twins did well in the tournament and got to the final game against the Cardinals. Somehow our team’s request to play the semi-final game on Friday night was granted so the Cardinals had to play a double-header (their semi-final and final game) on Saturday while the Twins only had the one game.

The Cardinals beat Carter’s team twice in the regular season and have some really great pitchers so we knew it would be a tough game to win and considered it a win that our boys made it to the final game.

The game stayed close. In the top of the 5th inning, the Cardinals were winning 4-3. Then, the Cardinals made a throwing error trying to catch an advancing runner and the Twins went ahead 5-4. And amazingly, the Twins held the Cardinals in the bottom of the 5th.

TWINS WIN!!!

Our boys were so excited!!! And we are so proud of them! We have a great group of kids and parents. While they are all always improving, we didn’t have the most naturally talented players but we do have hard working boys with great attitudes.

At the end of the season, Jeff did superlative awards for each of the boys. Carter received “Most Valuable Player”. Wow! We are so proud of him. He loves baseball and did great at both catching and pitching this season.

These three have played with us all 10 seasons (Gavin, Jack Henry, & Christopher) ...

Now we have a couple of summer tournaments and summer ball with Brentwood Ball Club. Carter and Rylan are playing on the team Brian coaches and Gray is actually going to play on a 4/5 team also coached by Brian.
