We play a little Baseball

 Spencer made the 9-10 year old All-Star team this year! We were so proud and SO EXCITED! The extra fun part was that Dan got to be a coach for the team since their Little League team won the regular season. {he is an amazing coach}. The picture above was our team banner that we had hanging behind the dugout at each of the games. It was 3 feet tall by 9 feet long! I was so pleased with the way it turned out -We even had people from other teams taking pictures of our banner! It did make me feel bad for just a brief second that the other teams all had lame banners - but just for a second.

 Spencer played second and batted clean-up in all their games. Since the league wanted us to field 14 players (way too many, I think!) he did have to rotate with another boy for an inning or two per game but for the most part he did play most of the time. In all honesty, all bias aside, he played really well.

 SO - ya.... In the last game we were playing the Queen Creek All-Star team that had gone undefeated and in the bottom of the last inning Spencer hits a walk-off double (at the center field fence!) to bring in the winning run! So Awesome!

In the end the cards were not in the Superstition Little League All-Star's favor. In order to advance onto the final round of the play-offs we had to win 2 of the 3 games - which we did! - but so did the Queen Creek All-Stars (their only loss was to us) but they allowed less runs to score on them than we did, so they got to move on and we got to go home. It was a bittersweet day for us, because the game we played against them was phenomenal but it is never fun to lose. Better luck next year!
