Today ended the final day and games of a very long baseball season. Last night was the first night of a two day tournament. There were only five teams in the tournament and our team drew the first bye of two games yesterday. We were crushed during the game they played and the chance of doing well were pretty bleak.
Today there were three scheduled games and the top four teams would play a fourth game for positions. The day started out with drizzle which quickly turned into a downpour and the games were finally called for a rain delay. We were losing by two runs when the delay occurred. We were told to come back in 3.5 hours hoping that the weather would pass. We did arrive and restarted the game again to rain; however, not as heavy as it was in the morning. We came back and won that game and the next two, finishing in second place. We played the team from Friday night in the finals and lost, finishing runner up. My son was pretty excited to get a trophy!
Despite the weather and the long day - twelve hours from beginning to end today with the rain delay - it was a fun day. I am honestly very glad though that the season is officially over. The coach did mention he was taking a week off from baseball and would be calling players next week to see if they wanted to participate in pick up or scrimmage ball before soccer and football seasons began. Seriously?????
