Kyle Tournament of Champions - Game 2

Wow, I’m still so excited I can hardly type. Game 2 of the Tournament of Champions put the Cardinals up against the Diamondbacks from the West Seattle Little League. The DB’s came in UNDEFEATED and as last year's defending district Champions! The Card’s not only came in strong, but thanks to some fantastic pitching yet again from Tony and DJ with Austin taking care of the last few batters. Follow that with some great hitting right when it was needed, including two HUGE hits from DJ, and the Cards go on to not only win, but shut out the Diamondbacks, 9-0!!

This puts the Card’s up tomorrow at 6:00pm for the district Championship against the winner of the 3:00pm game today. Win or lose, they kids have had a truly fantastic season, and certainly not enough could be said for them and the coaches. Each and every kid on the team is in it for the team, they all have great attitudes, and they are all great friends amongst themselves (Kyle, DJ, Calvin and Spencer have all been best buddies since kindergarten and Kyle played two years ago on the same team with Matt, Austin and Tony so they have some history together). The weather this season may have been the worst spring on record (even by Seattle standards) but it has been worth sitting out in the rain all season long to see the kids take it to this level.

GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
