we had later games today, so in the morning the boys went to fiesta fun and miniature golfed, we ate at the pizza family express, then headed out. isaac's games were in tonaquint (the absolute middle of nowhere, 40 minutes north of st. george. you know you're playing in a small town when there are signs in town saying "welcome rocky mountain baseball players". isaac's team put up a lot of runs early in their first game, but the other team started to come back. they put isaac into pitch in a touch spot and he was "lights out", getting 6 of the next 7 batters out and getting us out of the game with a win. he caught the first few innings and threw out the first two baserunners at second on steals. the other team didn't steal again the rest of the game and i kept thinking "the catcher's got a gun". he was the hero of that game, also hitting well. then we promptly lost our second game.
sam's team played in washington city. they won their first game against a not very good team and then played the irish to finish the tournament. we were ahead 4-2 until the late innings when the irish came back and scored 3, which we couldn't match, so we lost 5-4. the kids and coaches were very sad because had we won this game, we would have gone to the championship bracked and played on saturday in the play-offs. it was a heartbreaker.
