Well, the latest word is that the tournament is a go. Looks like the rain is about done, and they expect the fields to be dry enough. Sounds like 18 teams will be playing. What team are you associated with?
The tournament is on and we're flying people out there tomorrow. Due to the terrible storms over the past couple weeks, there is some last minute adjusting going on.
As soon as things are finalized we will post the schedule. All the teams will be notified.
If you need more information please contact Steve Trombly.
The tournament started today and went really well. The weather was beautiful and should remain that way for the next two days. All info can be found on the WWBA site (http://www.worldwoodbat.com). If you are out at the games please stop by and say hello. I will be at Cypress HS all day tomorrow and at Brea HS all day on Monday.
Rollerman, I didn't see your post until now, as we just returned home. I wish I'd known sooner that you were with Norcal white. I'm with the EDH Vipers that you played on Saturday.
If only that line drive with the bases loaded in the 7th inning had been a few feet one way or the other...Oh well, it was a good game. We enjoyed playing you guys!
06CatchersDAd, Yea, my son was the that gave you guys the opportunity in that last inning. Poor kid, 1st time pitching for NorCal and he's trying to impress. Lit up the guns but couldn't buy a strike. Came back on Monday, threw two innings, 4 K's 1 hit and no runs. Couldn't buy that confidence builder with Bill Gates checkbook!! Rollerman
Your son did fine. I think everyone needs to remember that it is JANUARY, and other than southern CA teams, its kinda cold and wet to practice(but - those so cal guys found out about wet, didnt' they?!). Our team hadn't played a game together since Labor Day, and we hadn't practiced together since then, either. Most of the kids had been working out on their own a bit, but nothing organized. My idea was to take them down and get some reps in before HS workouts start on Feb 1. I imagine it was much the same for your team, not a lot of organized practice before going to Brea. Under those circumstances, I thought there was a lot of quality baseball played. The biggest thing we lacked was from the mental side, ala the last play of our game (one of our runners got doubled off first to end the game, with the tying run on third and winning run on second) Our players weren't as sharp mentally, as they are normally.
We had a great time, played some good baseball and now our players are looking forward to their High School seasons. We were glad to get to play quality teams such as Norcal and ABD Bulldogs. By the way, does anyone know what ABD stands for?
