My kid has his first tourney. First game they did very well, then the second game their bats went to sleep and lost it in the top of the 7th. My kid struggled with contact and timing. The field was a local one with no cages so they did not hit and given their performance from the first game they did not make an attempt to hit on the oppo field with plyo balls or something. Now it may not have mattered as their bats with the exception of a HR and triple were basically flat. They are probably not going to win their pool which I secretly hope they wont as my kid and others on the team still have finals tomorrow.
