State Tournament

Nathan's baseball team, the Twins, had a really good season! They came in second in their league and so they advanced to the state tournament! They played 3 games in Payson earlier this week, and if they won 2 of them, they would advance to the next round.

Last year Nathan's team also went to the tournament, and we got creamed! Even though we were at a different location, I was expecting a similar outcome. Fortunately, this year was much better -- the teams were more of an even match.

We were winning the first game fairly soundly. Then the last inning two of our key players started making some cocky mistakes, and we ended up losing by a run! We won the second game -- it was close the whole time, but we won! The third game was really intense. Both teams had each won a game, so whoever won this game would advance to the next round. The Twins did really well at the beginning, and I was starting to arrange my schedule in my head to work around the next game. And then the momentum shifted, and we lost by a couple of runs.

Nathan got to pitch a little bit. He is also an amazing 3rd baseman, and during the tournament he made a few big plays at 3rd! Congratulations on a great season, Nathan! You have worked hard and it is fun to see your talents growing!
