Back from another amazing 10U tournament. This time it was the State Championship. Although I did not see the two final games, I did watch A LOT of games over the two days. Not too happy they chose to play the tournament in two days rather than three, but that is the way they played it.
The team is the So Cal A’s - Natividad/Rojas. There is no questioning it. They played better than everyone else because they have the best team. Like it or not. They have incredible pitching and they can all hit. I did not see an easy out in their lineup. They rolled my DD’s team and I thought we played well! Of the other three teams that played on Sunday, they sent all of them to the loser’s bracket. Yes, all three of them.
Power Surge and Firecrackers played well and won when they played a team not called the So Cal A’s Natividad/Rojas or each other. Those two teams can play as well. Each with solid defense and hitters. I understand that PS did squeek one from the A's in ITB in the first championship to force the "If" game. The So Cal 3D team continues to improve and they now beat teams they used to lose to. It is fun to watch them get better and better.
The (not so) shocking results came from the OC Batbuster teams. They sent three teams to the tournament and they were a combined 2-6! All three teams bounced out on the first day. The Garcia team had the easiest road to the finals and still could not make it. That team is getting bad as fast as the So Cal 3D team is getting good. Not sure how anyone, except the parents on those teams, can talk about any of the BB teams when speaking of the best out there. I know the Flores team is a 04 team so they clearly get a pass. It is painfully obvious that Garcia and Nelson are both ships taking on massive amounts of water. Each team winning only a singl
game.
Not sure how someone can look at final scores and make rational deductions. The score is only an indicator, it rarely tells the entire story. If you were not there to see the games, you have little idea of what happened. Do you hear me Nor Cal Homer?
Glad SammySosa21 has stopped crying. Dude, really?
