At the end of pool play the #1 and #2 teams in each pool plus two at large teams will be determined from the following guidelines and advance to the ten team double elimination tournament.
*Best Record
*Head to Head
*Least Runs Allowed
*Most Runs Scored

The Connie Mack seems to be going strong. Maybe the Mickey Mantle should take a page from their playbook. 25 teams.......110 degrees......5 Texas Teams......California, New Mexico, Florida, and Colorado. Seems to be a fair representation of the West.

Mickey Mantle Qualifier......8 Teams.......All local Texas Teams.....Humid but not unbearable.......plenty to do......what’s wrong with this picture. I know baseball is a hotbed here.......but it is lacking in so many ways. The CM is played in the hottest place in the west and yet pulls teams in. Short of volunteering for the job.......the MM needs to see what is being done right. Maybe it is location.

JAFO, is that you trying to sneak up on somebody! Hope some of the parents in Phoenix can post on this site about results and details of some of the games, for those of us parents who couldn't make the trip. Thanks.

Currently 102 degrees (11:30AM), but it's a dry heat.

Hey, JAFO. Are you missing it?

Nah....I've got a sideline job this summer down at Reverchon.

Wonder if that nice chap that runs the Firebirds will miss me?

Hes already called me wanting your number.

By the way did you see that CM Pool Play Bracket? Look a little fishy?

Any finals from today's games?

What's fishy about it?

It does seem rather odd that the Firebirds keep drawing the pools that have no Texas teams in them.

....or Trombly.

....or SoCal.

....or the Prospects.

DBat 17 over Dallas Patriots 20-8
Trevor Petersen, Travis Ballew, and
Trevor Eickman combine for the win.
Petersen started and went 3 (I think)
Ballew had a quick 10 pitch inning.
Eickman finished with a good inning.

HR for Ryan Payne over left center.
It was a bomb - PHX Municipal is 345ft
down the lines.

Sweet play by Brett Doe at SS in the last
on a line drive short hop.

Tigers lose to Trombly 10-3.
Down 3-0 in the 3rd when I left with
Swaggerty on the mound.

All-American Prospects over Houston Raiders
something like 14-6.

They say they'll be updating the website at night.
