Hello everyone,
Thank you for your best wishes.
We arrived in town yesterday with a police escort.
Today we will be on our float in the Connie Mack WS parade in downtown Farmington, NM. This experience is unbelievable. Players are being treated like celebreties
Tonight we will be playing in the 2nd game (9:00pm-CST) of a double header in front of 10,000 fans (the stadium is standing room only). You can listen to the game on the internet at: http://verticalradio.org/
We brought our Illinois flag that will be waiving proudly everytime we play.

Top of the fifth inning...Casey makes a catch in centerfield that the announcers claim is the best catch they have ever seen in all of the games they have ever watched in Connie Mack World Series history. I can imagine that they have seen many, many games.
If anyone who was there could describe it for us sometime that would be appreciated.
Way to go Casey!
By the way...this announcing crew is doing a very good job.

It was an incredible catch. At the time, Farmington was leading 4-1 and taking the momentum in the game and the crowd was going nuts. I could barely hear any of my teammates talking to me on the field! The Farmington hitter launched a ball deep to the left center gap. Casey Mac was in a full sprint, and made a sliding catch into the fence. His catch truly silenced the crowd and turned the momentum on our side and I think jumpstarted us to our 8 run rally and a 9-4 victory.
Other Highlights- According to the Farmington News Paper
Casey McMurray- 3 hits
Kevin Crane- 3 hits, 5 RBI
Cameron McConnell- 2 run home run
John Flanagan- complete game 4 hitter
We move on to the next round where we will face the East Cobb Yankees.

Great job last night theGlove12. Top Tier really came storming back!
The radio announcers are from that area obviously and you guys were playing the home team, but I must say those announcers were giving you guys all of the credit you deserved...especially Casey's incredible catch...they were really gushing!
One of the announcers hinted that Casey's catch might spark an offensive rally...he was absolutely right.
Thanks for the first hand account theGLOVE12.

Had to dig deep for this one. Still looking for an explanation on the Sparks absence. Duece/Sparky/? what was the real reason your team never attended this event. It was listed on your website as one of your tournaments? Is it because you actually have to QUALIFY to make it there. Instead of having PG hand you a bid, for which you did not qualify by winning anything? Tough when you have to actuially earn it? Don't know the connection to PG but by just handing out bids to favored teams and not earning them seems a bit hypocritical. While you did win your pool in Iowa so did many other teams, so does it become an issue of buying your way into Jupiter? or is it the buddy system.
High...Why not just pick up the phone and ask them?
Sounds like you want to attempt to embarrass someone publicly.
Are you happier now?

JP, maybe it's nothing more than, "what goes around, comes around".
BTW, have visited Princeton twice with my son. As you know, he's attending a prep school just up the road. What a great campus town and overall exciting environment. You must be very proud.
Agree, Rosy....Now if we can just get him back on the field.
Beenthere, not trying to embarrass anyone, just looking for an answer to an unanswered question. I did not even ask the question to begin with but it is amazing how it has been ignored, by somneone who posts on here quite often. Again not trying to embarrass anyone, unless the answer is embarrassing? It was posted by one of their own parents on this site (CPLZ),and that he expected them to be there also?

HH,
The difference is, is that if I really wanted an answer, I would have called and gotten one. My curiousity over the issue was just that, curiosity, nothing more. It obviously doesn't mean as much to me as it does to you.
