Not me. Anybody playing in the Phoenix AZ Top Choice SouthWest Super Regional?
We'll be in the 13u tourney in Mentor, if you guys are coming pm me your team name, age level and we can exchange ph #'s and get together. 
It's usually a pretty solid tourney yank. This will be the first yr my son isn't playing in the GLBL event.
Well, how did everybody do?
We are a 12 U team and we went 3 and 2 in the 13U american tournament. Lost in the playoffs to the Eventual champion and scored a run against them when everybody else got shut out.
Our boys played great and we took a lot out of the tournament.
And the best things that happened were:
1. My son threw out the runner at first from center field with two outs and a runner on third.
2. He also hit his first homerun on a 300 foot fence field!! we measured it and it was approximately 320 feet!! he hit the storage unit behind the fence so it was easy to measure. He turns 13 in November.
I thought my chest was going to burst in pride. And the next time I drink, or in a year or two it will be a 400 ft shot!!

We took 1rst in our tourney and lil IB didn't throw a single pitch.
He's thrown a lot of innings lately and we play the second place team in the league tomorrow so the plan was to rest him if possible so he's fresh for that game. Hopefully he comes thru and has a good outing.
Our kids pitched and hit well, lil IB bounced one off the top of the fence with the bases loaded and it bounced BACK into the field for a dbl instead of OUT for a salami
So in that game he had a dbl, triple, home run, and a walk. We beat that team 16-4 and they weren't laughing at how small we were any more.
