We went into Wednesday's tourney after pool play wrapped up Tuesday evening in 54th place, so had one by round and started our game at noon. We played a team from Georgia that was ranked 96th, but turns out that they had a very bad draw in pool play and were a much tougher team than we thought.
We also had one of our boys suffer from mild dehydration and was sent to the ER for treatment. Another injured his wrist after just coming back from breaking his thumb before the tournament. With the awful humid and hot weather our boys played so hard, but we lost in the first round.
Many of the team families went out for BBQ that night, it was a nice way to finish out a tough day and gave the boys a chance to relax. Drew stayed with us at our rental house that night and within a minute of his head hitting the pillow he was asleep.
Yesterday, we took him around Cooperstown and did some more shopping before closing ceremonies. The evening events at the park were great, but an early evening rain storm made it incredibly hot and humid. The boys received their Cooperstown pins and got to be called out onto the field one more time.
Drew had a great time, and even though he desperately wanted to hit a home run, he has some great memories. We have over 1000 pictures to share, and will send all of you the information soon.
We are heading back to Phoenix today, and it will be a very late night. We will be in touch when we are back in the Valley. All of us are looking forward to low humidity, no mosquitos, and sleeping in our beds again.
