Alex had his firs tournament over in Pasco this weekend. The team is basically made of up Little League 11 and 12's who play by Little League rules and are used to 55' between bases rather than "real baseball" rules and distances for that age. 70' between bases and leading off are the two big rule changes that kill any Little League based team.

We got our asses handed to us, which really didn't surprise anyone.

Cold, rainy, windy, wet and miserable conditions on Saturday and a little better on Sunday. Might as well have been playing in Seattle.

Oh well, good for Alex to get some pitching and hitting in this weekend. He didn't play as he would have liked and is always hard on himself.

More Little League practices this week with games starting in late March. His "tournament" team has games every Sunday.

Going to be a busy spring and summer for Aled and I.

This thread is about baseball, right?

At bat.....
