All good things...

must come to an end! Yes, even baseball. The Woodcreek 11 year old squad rolled through District 54(we even Beat El Dorado Hills for a 3rd time)until we faced Lakeside. Lakeside beat us the 1st time we faced them(11-6). We beat them the 2nd time we faced them(6-3). Playing for the District 54 Title, it was Woodcreek vs. Lakeside. Mind you, Lakeside did not even make it out of pool last year. We were hoping for a District Title WIN! During the final game, Carter is the lead off batter and gets up to bat(his 1st at bat of the game)and nails a home run! It was so exciting a GREAT way to start the game.
Lets just say, we went downhill from there. The boys struggled to keep it together to pull off a win. The final score was 11-3 Lakeside...ouch! I do want to mention how well these boys handled themselves after a big loss. We we had them get together for one final team photo, those 11 year old boys smiled and held up two fingers and said "we are # 2!" It made us all laugh and smile. They are talented young men with big hearts and a HUGE love for the game!
We are not quite sure what we are going to do now that All Star season is over??? It was what we did last Summer and we loved every minute of it! Until next season...

Raimi....I love the baseball posts. Our nephew up in Washington has been going through the same sort of Allstar thing. They just spent the weekend in Boise playing in some competition. You've got to be one proud mom!
