diamond notes (11)

Last weekend we finished second in the Michigan ASA state tournament in Moline. We went 5-2, and lost to the Fat Boyz from Marquette in the winners bracket championship and then again in the final "if" game.

We played well and won several close and two extra inning games in the tourney. We have to move up to a new classification--A/B for next year--because of our performance in the tournament. I played well overall; went 14/28 (.447) with 3 homeruns (10).

I am playing with a pick-up team tomorrow in Battle Creek. Next week I've been picked up to play in the Men's Major world series in South Bend with the "Outlaws." Should be fun. We play the Quad City Sox on Thursday, August 4 at 4:00 p.m. at Belleville Park.
