what would summer be without an all-star baseball tournament? this is the 3rd summer in a row that roman has made the all-star team, so we are making it a summer tradition!
each year, he likes to do something fun with his hair, so we dyed it blue this time!
and i've got my nails all decked out in baseballs and blue!
this year, they earned the first round bye and didn't have to start until thursday night. the games were in walterboro this year, so we had to drive about an hour each night to get there. and believe it or not, it was still so hot at 6 at night!
gianna made a sign to cheer the boys on. she's such a great baseball sister!
my #8 💙
the boys run-ruled beaufort, 12-0.
then, they got to watch a little of the second game of the night...the other bluffton team vs. hilton head. it is always a fun rivalry to watch!
the next night, it was our turn to play hilton head. i actually don't have any pictures of that because i used my other camera and am having a hard time getting them transferred. it was a close one, but we squeaked out a win, 4-3. whoop whoop, yay bluffton american!
game #3 was against colleton and we weren't too sure about that team. it could go either way. they got the early lead and we were sweatin' it. luckily, the boys picked up the pace and went on to win 10-4.
the final day was sunday. we were the only undefeated team left in the tournament. and we were up against hilton head again. we had beaten them once, but we knew they wanted it bad. we had to show up! roman's hair was fading, but his spirit was brighter than ever...let's do this!
roman and max were plotting their water dump on coach toby early on...
it was HOT! these boys tried to keep cool in the shaded dugout, but it was the hottest day of summer so far and we were feelin' it.
roman was catcher for most of the game, and i was wondering how stinkin' hot it was in all that gear. luckily, he took turns most every inning with bradley to make sure they both didn't overheat.
the girls found a patch of shade and tried to keep cool.
would you want to wear all that in 100 degree heat? me neither! but, ro is a beast and never complained!
in the end, we run-ruled hilton head 16-6 in the 4th inning and secured our district champ title for the 3rd year in a row. what an amazing group of boys. at least 5 of these boys have made it to the state tournament 2 times. several have made it 3 times! proud is such an understatement for how i feel about this group of boys!
these boys have been busting their butts since last august to prepare for this, they deserve this!
somebody's dreams came true 😂
let's do this, boys! bluffton needs a state championship!!
