Wow! Two runs against in four games. So how did the Angels manage to get two across on your staff?
quote:OP, I was at those two games and it appears that the Blue Sox are a gritty and determined bunch of kids. The second game was an impressive pitching display as well. Good luck the rest of the season.
Juice,
The second game was actually pitched by my son, but I had to miss the game because we did some moving!! What a bummer!
Thank you for the encouragement. We definitely needed those 2 wins. We had been in a prolonged funk for a couple of weeks!!
Thanks.....

DITTO (thanks for doing my writing for me, OBN!)
OP,
I would definately echo the comments by Juice on the Blue Sox being a hard working bunch. SmartSon plays for the 16U Patriots (he caught the 2nd game Saturday). It was obvious you guys were down several players, but I did not know the extent or that it was due to injuries. The pitcher from the 1st game pitched a heck of a game against us, and it looked like you just ran short on pitching the 2nd game. Keep fighting through these tough times. Which one was your son? I'm guessing from other posts that he is a well known player, but we are still realtively new to the Dallas select scene after moving here from Houston before his freshman year.

SmartDad,
Welcome to the area, we're glad you're here!!
My son missed both of the Patriot games on Saturday. My daughter's 18th birthday was yesterday and we had her birthday party on Saturday up in Paris, Texas. He was bummed out about having to miss the games, but family comes first you know!!
Good luck to you guys the rest of the way! We're on a 2 game roll now!!

OP,
I certainly understand the "family" thing!
We used to live in Paris. Many years ago, my first job was at a church there! Small world.
Good luck to you guys! Hope you can keep the "roll" going and hope to see you down the road somewhere this season.

Thanks, PD, cheapseats, and ob-n,
The kids took their big bats this weekend. They are a pretty salty bunch. It has been a fun summer so far.

Texas Blackhawks-Black 16U record 24-3-1 headed to the perfect Game BCS finals in Jupiter Florida (via- winning the Houston regional)
14 very strong 16U teams including the Tigers 16, SA Giants, EC Astro's....

Please tell me there are going to be more than 14 teams in this thing. My dad has constantly been looking for a schedule. I'm thinking maybe there is one finally today.
14 teams is not bad as long as they are quality teams...last year we went to the wwba nationals and all but about 6 teams were merely fodder...I would rather be playing highly competitive games, then the run-rule blowouts we do every weekend...
Now there are 20 at least and the schedules are up.
DBAT 16 - 3
Dallas Giants - 2
WP - Nowell (complete game)
Once the dust settles, it appears that DBAT 16 will win the BBI 16U Premier division and host the BBI State tournament at Dallas Christian. The Dallas Giants have already qualified for MMWS by winning the qualifier.

PD,
You TX folks are really starting to make a believer out of me after seeing Humber tonight and others playing professional baseball in FL.
No wonder so many people post in this forum!
Peace, Shep

Congratulations DBAT on winning the BBI Premier league. Great accomplishment against some pretty strong competition.
Who will be the first pick in the draft for a little help in the state tournament?
Consensus 1st pick -- no question -- Matt Lackie.
So far, the Dallas Giants are 1-2 in their pool play at the 16U WWBA tournament in Marietta, Ga. this week.
Frozen Ropes Blue Sox are 2-1.
If you would have told me before the tournament that one would be 2-1 and the other 1-2, I would have picked the Giants at 2-1.
I'm glad the Blue Sox are playing well. Does anyone know if Colten Cain made the trip to Ga.?

Frozen Ropes Blue Sox are 2-1.

I'm wishing we were down there with you guys. The team wants a shot at the EC Astros. Just think about it, its the perfect war cry: 25 against 10... LETS GO!

Actually, Matt is not with the Blue Sox any longer. Things that went on at Frozen Ropes after my resignation, prompted us to decide to remove him from the team. They are all great guys and we love Grant Tonick, Casey Rush and Ben Ramirez, who are the coaches. We just felt we needed to make a break from the situation we were in there. They are doing a great job there in Marietta, and I am really happy for them.
I'm sorry to hear that, but I know everything was done with class.

It was on both end's. There are things that just need to be forgotten and we can all move forward!! I wish Frozen Ropes the best and hope they have much success in the future.
It is my understanding that Colten is not with the Giants in Georgia. I believe it is related to the tryout for the Youth National team. Disclaimer: my information is 2nd hand.
I'm almost 100% that he made it to the next "round" in the Junior Olympics. It's a shame that he didn't last year-many scouts were interested.

How could he not make it? The kid is a one in a million talent for his age. I said 2 years ago that he would be a first round pick out of high school and I don't think I'm wrong about that still. He is a man among boys right now in my opinion.
The fort worth cats 15u were in the UTA tournament...... and they went 2-1-1..... beat the 16u marshall and tigers...... tied the mustangs 16u...... and then an ugly loss to the 16u san antonio hackers
