With 1 week of the City Tournament under their belts... Cameron, Holden & Duncan have each had varying experiences. The tourney is a '2&out' sort of affair. Very straight-forward... lose 2, and you're out. And here's how the boys have faired thus far.
Cameron's Heat - Playing 2 games in less than 24 hours, the Heat travelled to Northern Kentucky and to Blue Ash (OH) last night and this afternoon. The Heat had a pretty fantastic season in general, and Cameron really came into his own as he managed the move to 'AA' with confidence and success. Last night's game was tough to handle... the Heat got through 6 innings trailing 3-2, and then, with their gloves apparently taking an early exit, the Heat watched 4 runs get hung on them. Batting last in the 7th, there wasn't enough Heat to come back from 5-down. And then today we travelled north to ol' Crosley Field in Blue Ash (see picture) to take on a team from Goshen. All even at 4-apiece going into the 7th inning, Goshen managed to sneak 2 across in their half of the frame. And that was the difference. So there ya have it... 2 losses, in less than 24 hours. And so the Heat's 2010 season comes to a close. I thanked Cameron this afternoon for having us along for a very enjoyable season. Proud of you, dude! Can't wait until next year.
Holden's Highlanders - the Highlanders drew the Bridgetown Sparks to open the week's play. And much to a lot of our collective surprise... we watched the Highlanders go down to the tune of 4-0. However, the Highlanders rebounded in their 2nd game... and for the 2nd year in a row they got to personally punch the ticket of their arch-rivals, the Westside Bulldogs. Bye-bye Buldogs, Highlanders move on. And then today, the Highlanders played the Eastside Cats. Highlanders 7, Cats 4. Congratulations, Holden (and Heat). Good luck as your tournament continues.
Duncan's Heat - similar to Holden's hated Bulldogs, Duncan's Heat has the Covedale Storm. And guess who the Duncan's Heat drew in their first tourney game. Yep... the Storm. Unfortunately, while this match-up is almost always a knock-down fistfight often decided by a margin of only 1 or 2 runs, the Storm that showed up this morning THROTTLED the Heat that came to the park. This one was actually kind of difficult to watch. But hey... this is a '2&out' tournament. And Duncan's Heat will live to play again in a couple days. Hopefully they return to their form. Good luck, Duncan. And step-up Heat... let's get things back on track in this next game.
