Color Country Classic

We have been in Cedar City again all weekend for a ball tournament. It was a tough one. Keep in mind this is only the teams second tournament. Most of the other teams have been together 1-3 years already, so we have some learning and catching up to do-but I do believe we will get there. In this tournament each team plays a total of 4 games and then the two teams that have the most wins go to the championship. Let's just say the first three games were bad, we lost by a lot, and had a lot of errors. For our fourth game we were up against a team that was already 3-0, so a pretty good team. We were doomed, or wait were we? Our team actually started to click. Wow! We almost ended up winning. We were hitting and making plays. We still had errors but not as many. We did end up losing but the final score was 14-12. It was a nail biter down to the last run. We scored more runs on the team we were playing than the other three teams they played combined. I am so proud of the boys they really did a great job. The other team told us we were the toughest team they had played. Tanner pitched for most of the game, he did a great job too! He also had a really nice put-out at first. Through the whole tournament he didn't strike out one time, and in the last game he had two really great hits. This team will get better and better the more they play I am sure of it. It is hard to lose but it makes the win all the better when you finally get there. I think that the hardest part for Tanner was that the team he used to play with took the Championship, but the Gators will get there eventually.
