Each and every week is an adventure. At this age coaches will play different lineups, kids in different positions, especially in your average weekend tournament. When the qualifiers take place, the top teams usually rise up and earn their berth to nationals.
All teams tinker with their lineup so I don't buy thE "lineup" excuse. The best teams generate enough runs to win regardless.
