Evan's Legacy Silver Slam Tournament

 Last weekend Evan's team played in Brighton at Legacy Center and two other locations for another tournament.  They had a game Friday evening against the Howell Highlanders and won 11-4.  One of Evan's teammates hit an over-the-fence homerun, which was really exciting to see!  It was such a warm evening, which was appreciated after many cold games we've sat at this spring.

Saturday they had a game at noon at an elementary school against Lake Orion Crush.  We should have won, but they beat us 9-6.  Another teammate hit not one, but two over-the-fence homeruns during this game.  We had a break before our next game and our next game was out in Highland so we found a lunch spot with several teammates and their families that was really good.  

Our game at 4pm was against the Motor City Hit Dogs (a team we've played before and beat) and we won 10-6.  Another over-the-fence home run for the same kid from Friday's game.  So, it was an exciting weekend of hits.  Evan, on the other hand, has gotten into a bit of a batting slump so we hope that improves this weekend.  

Based on seeding, our pool was in a 3-way tie of 2 wins and 1 loss, but we had the better run differential so we got to play in the semi-finals on Sunday at 4pm against Hartland Eagles who had won all of their games.  It was the most intense, but well played game I've ever seen kids play.  They were tied and went into extra innings not once, but twice!  We lost 9-8, but man...it was a good game.  The Eagles went on to win the championship game against the Canton Cardinals 1-0.
