Arkansas State Baseball 8U A

Jack's team played in the state tournament this weekend. His team played well, but were missing two players so they had to use subs that have never played with the boys. We were also missing our usual pitcher. They tied their first pool game, and lost a close second game, 3-2. The bracket today was single elimination and they lost their first game to the #3 seed, 10-2. Jack played really well to end the season, though with two hits and probably the best pop fly catch to left field he has had all year. He dove for the ball and seemed surprised to have the ball in his glove.

After the game, we had the boys over to our house for swimming and pizza. Next year Jack and two others will have to leave this team because of where their birthdays fall. They will have to play 9U, while the rest can still play 8U. It was a fun year and we will miss these boys and coaches.
