All-Stars

have i mentioned once or 753 times that roman's been playing a little baseball?  

well, he's been a on a couple of teams this year.  

1.  rec ball (Phillies)

2.  travel team (Waves)

3.  all-stars (the best players from rec, most of which played on his travel team)

so, it seems that when the waves travel season ended, the all-stars picked right up where they left off.  and, it's been great to have these boys playing together for a few months already.  

the all-star tournament was father's day weekend, and was a double elimination tournament.  these pictures are not all in completely accurate chronological order because i honestly can't remember what team they played first!

here's a few pictures and videos from the tournament...

 

 

to bring you up to speed...they lost one game to Hilton Head and so that meant that they now had to beat them twice to win the championship (double elimination, remember?), so we played HH at 6pm for the championship.  if they won, we were out.  if we won, we had to play them again and win again to win the district championship.  

6pm game - we win, 12-11 (7 innings)  !!!!

7:30 game - we win 12-11 (6 innings)  !!!!! 

we couldn't believe it!  it was so awesome!  

happy father's day, poppa!  i don't think we could have bought you a better present!

now the boys are headed to the South Carolina state tournament!!

this video is from the waves (travel team) end of season party.  this is what roman's coach had to say about him. 

i think proud is not a big enough word that i have to describe my feelings for this...
