This tournament was a great learning experience for the 9-under team. For many of them, it was their first time playing with lead-offs. They did a great job adapting to "real baseball".

Lots of pick-off plays, lots of base stealing, and a great learning experience for the kids. They hope to keep playing this style of baseball.

The last game was well played and very exciting. A well pitched game with lots of great defensive plays and probably the best opposing pitcher year-to-date. A hard throwing 10-year-old with an excellent pick-off move.
