Alan went to Ocala, FL to compete in the 13U All-Star State tournament. William went to Altamonte Springs, FL to compete in the 15U All-Star tournament. A great time was had by all.
Alan's team were not successful in winning any games but the family was very proud of Alan and his performances at the tournament. Alan pitched in two of the games and proved to be their best pitcher. He was even heard to be the calming force in the dugout, way to go Alan. The team played three games but was unsuccessful in winning any of them. The last game was their best game and only lost 6-4.
William's team won the State Championship. The team played very well and actually won all their games. William helped to turn a few double plays and made the last out of the last game, whew. The bottom of the last inning was very nerve racking because the score was 5-4. William and all his team mates are the 15U South Florida State Champions. It took them a few extra days because of the rain delays but managed to get the job done on Tuesday morning.
For those kids that have played with William since 9 years this has been 6 years in the making. The joy is also that some of William's old team mates played on the 14U All-Stars and they too were successful in winning the State Championship.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 14U AND 15U BABE RUTH SOUTH FLORIDA STATE CHAMPIONS!
