Another rainout in Kingsport

Where is all this rain coming from??? It's crazy - we are approaching the rainiest ball season ever. This is the third rainout we have had. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to share because Keith and I were out of town and we handed Austin over to the coach's wife for the weekend. But I did get updates.

The first game was played at 9AM and the boys shut down the opposing team in three innings....winning 19-1. Then they waited around for a few hours to play again at 4PM. The next team they played had won their previous game 16-4 so we thought we were going to face some competition this time. But once again, our boys shut them down....winning 13-0. This set them up for 1st seed to play on Sunday for the championship.

We needed to win or place second in order to receive a berth (invitation) to play in the World Series in Orlando at Disney. The games were delayed for two hours Sunday morning and eventually canceling due to the overwhelming rains.

We hope to find out this week if our 1st place seeding is enough to get us the berth or if we actually had to finish the tournament, even though the canceling was out of our control. If we do not receive the berth, then we will have to play in SouthHaven, MS and place 1st or 2nd there in a couple of weeks.

Stayed tuned...this weekend, we play locally in Franklin at the Mother's Day Classic - we won it last year. The boys are back to defend their title. (if it doesn't rain us out!!!)
