Emerald City Classic

I did not get up until around noon today. I got ready and headed to Redmond to watch the Maulers play softball in the end of the season tournament, the Emerald City Classic. I got there just as they were beating the Kozmos. They kept them in the tournament. They were in the losers bracket after losing a game this morning.

We went to field four and started to play game after game. One loss and they were gone. They kept winning though. I was the first base coach. Finally we got to the finals against the Phoenix who during the season was not a very strong team. But today they were kicking butt. We went out there and beat them by four runs in the first game. The weather was starting to turn ugly. Then we started the second game. We had to bead the Phoenix to win the whole thing because they didn’t have any losses. Beating them in game one put both teams in the losers bracket.

Then we played them a second game. But it was raining bad. The field started to get worse and worse. By the third inning the score was tied four to four and they called the game. They decided to make both teams the first place winners. I was soaking wet. I went to my truck and put on a dry shirt then headed home.

I got my pictures from Brandon’s wedding off my camera then went into the house and sat around watching TV and relaxing.
