We rushed home from Somerset after church in order to be ready for Carter’s next tournament game at 3:30. It was hot as blue blazes out there but the guys didn’t seem to care. (Their fans did!)
Unfortunately, the Richmond All-Stars suffered their first tourney loss to Eastern (Lexington) and had to turn around and play a second game against another Lexington team, Bluegrass. We lost that game, as well, and were eliminated from the tournament.
The Carter Fort cheering section was out in full force with Pa, Aunt Al, Harley and Aunt Tiffany not pictured.
Sweet girls trying to find a little spot of shade.
I forget sometimes that this child is only six.
He’s a good little base runner.
Our guys did a great job defensively.
In fact, we had several shortstop-to-second force outs and we turned one double play.
Nothing cures two losses in a row better than a water balloon fight with the coach.
You know he’s a ball player when he wants to go home after 5 grueling hours in the heat and throw some more with his Poppers.
He tossed the ball up and blasted it into the backyard a few times before daddy made him go inside for a shower.
Well, I’m disappointed that our team didn’t make it to the championship or to state. But I think we did pretty well all things considered.
LORD, thank you for providing some cloud cover tonight for the second game and for keeping everybody safe in this heat. Thank you for these fine boys on Carter’s team. And thank you that they had a good time.
That cloud was amazing!! That kiddo is amazing!! 🥰😍😘tiff
