Coaching in the semi-finals today we showed up early to watch the other two teams go at it as well. Team in green I used to coach basketball for, several of them had as 7th graders back in the day. Forgot my monopod so all of these are hand held with the IS turned on the 300 with the Mark IIn. Used AV as the exposure was all over the place, prefer to use manual usually.
#1 - We showed up to see him on the mound, not sure who it is but it is not there #1 pitcher. We thought for sure they'd throw there ace in the semi's...

#2 - Instead there ace was playing right field and knocking in a run with this single...great kid, great work ethic, or at least when I had him in 7th grade on my b-ball team it was. Judging from all his success it hasn't changed, which is great!

#4 - Thought this might be a great play for the team in red to get going and play a little better. Didn't turn out that way, they kind of got taken out of the game with a 5 run first against them and never got back into it.

#5 - So of course the team in green had to have a play at the plate too...

#6 - ...and with a good block of the plate, he's out. Interesting story behind the kid in red - I coached him in modified baseball, he moved last year and we heard he stopped playing baseball which was pretty bad because the kid could be a great player if he works hard, really good kid already. We get to the game and his uncle happens to be shooting and telling me the kids still playing and was brought up to start this year (sophomore). I didn't even recognize him at first...heard he's doing great, just very happy to see him playing!

#8 - This kid was just plain mean...he wouldn't let us get a hit until the 5th inning and only two all game. Opposing teams pitcher as I didn't shoot much during our game, maybe 10 shots as the light went away quick and that whole coaching thing gets in the way. This kid looked pretty good, only let up one run on two hits to end our season.
