Our time in Cooperstown has come to an end and the boys have had an amazing time playing baseball at Cooperstown Dreams Park. We faced Irvine Rox in our first bracket-play game and came up short 13-7 and were eliminated from the tournament. The boys handled the loss well and quickly moved on to trading pins. Yet another reminder that after all is said and done, they are just kids.
Yesterday we went to Gilbert Lake and the boys swam and paddle boated. It was a great way to spend the day together as a team.
Closing Ceremonies were held last night and each of the boys were called out by name and received a commemorative ring to take home with them. The ceremonies were followed by an amazing fireworks display and the Championship Game between #11 seed Cherry Hill Sharks (NJ) and the #1 seed CT Hurricanes (CT). The Cherry Hill Sharks won 8-3.
The Cherry Hill Sharks started tournament play on Wednesday at 9pm. They won that game, followed by 3 more wins on Thursday (8:30am, 12:00pm, and 3:00pm) before making it to their 4th game of the day, the Championship Game on Thursday night at 9:15pm. That's a lot of baseball in one day for 12 year olds! They played a great game and it was fun to watch.
We leave Cooperstown today filled with life long memories and friends and we thank you all for your unwavering support. This is an experience the boys (and the parents and grandparents) will never forget.
Go Power Storm!
