12 hour drive door to door from Marietta and I feel very lucky. I expected it to last 14+.

Great time in Georgia. TT ended the week with a record of 3 wins, 1 loss and 2 ties. In the tie games each side feels like they had the better chances to win. We kicked it around a little bit and a tie was better than a loss. I think our best win was against perenially (sp?) strong Bill Hood's Marucci Bat Co. team.

Great fields, no problems, and they use REAL baseballs! Congratulations to all Illinois teams and players for showing that you can play some darn good baseball.

Many scouts and recruiters are already there, just waiting for the 17's to arrive this week.

Congratulations to all Illinois teams on a strong showing in Marietta. According to the final standings on the WWBA site. All 4 Illinois teams finished in the top 100.

Top Tier- 20th
Southern Illinois Bullets- 23rd
McHenry County Hurricanes- 28th
Illinois Sparks- 74th

In case anyone is wondering, Chet Lemon's Juice ended up winning the title.
Man perfect game or whomever runs these must be making a fortune. 148 teams, 1 game a day charging 10$ a head to get in to see the games, 40$ for all the games. How did they come up with whatever places did they use runs scored or runs allowed as some of these teams were 500. I am also surpised at these type tournaments that no infield or outfield is allowed as it doesn't give the scouts much opportunity to see how they play. Are they just looking at pitching or hitting? Seems like a long time to be somewhere for 6 games.
