This season Parker made the 7-8 year old All-Star Baseball Team!
He was so excited that his name was on his shirt! There were 3 teams in his division from our league this year - Blue, Red, and Grey.
Parker was our AMAZING catcher! He had some of the best plays at home! The first weekend was seeding. They went 4-0! The 4th of July weekend started the double elimination tournament. They went 3-0 that weekend! This past weekend, in triple degree heat, we faced the only other undefeated team. The game went 10 innings! (They only play 6 innings usually.) Parker caught all 10 innings! We ended up losing that game by one run. It was heartbreaking! Worst of all, we had to come back 2 hours later and play in an elimination game against our Grey team. That game went 10 innings as well! Yes, our little blue team played 20 innings in one day! Parker caught 6 of those innings (yes...16 innings in one day!) and they ended up winning that game! By the end of the day, we were the only remaining team from our league!
Here Parker is with his buddy Kenny. They had a great time on the team together!
We battled back and made it to the championship game, against the only team that had beat us. Unfortunately, our little guys ran out of steam and lost that game 3-4. These little guys played so well, that sometimes you forgot they were only 7 and 8 years old!
It was a great post season! Parker had so much fun and did an amazing job! Way to go buddy!!!
