Photo of the Day for Friday… (sorry for the delay, been at the park more than at home for the last 100 hours…)
Effort of the Day we’ll call this… and while he didn’t make the out… this is the effort that it takes sometimes to win… Carson Valley ended up winning this game, can’t help but think that if you have enough of a team making this effort that good things will happen!!

Photo of the Day! Some great plays happening out at the park! This one caught my eye early… really great to see a hard charging shortstop (10/11 year old…) going after this ball to make the play and get the out at first! Well done!

The first day is in the books! I have to go with a double Photo of the Day and it goes to the poof of dirt off the catcher’s glove! 🙂
There are some things I always try to get every year, some are harder than others so the quest will always continue… this is one of those things (along with bat on ball, close plays at 2nd and 3rd, etc., etc….) so stay tuned!

The Dust Poof of the Day! 🙂
Photo of the day goes to the dust off the glove of this Washoe catcher! I love these shots!
First burst out of the camera and got this! 🙂
Happy 4th of July everyone, have a safe and happy holiday! See you back out at the ball field on the 5th.
Sorry, got a little behind with Photo of the Day… Friday night’s 7:30 game brought me my photo of the day… This is my 11th year shooting all star tournaments, so I’ve seen a lot of things out here. I wanted to give this fella a shout out for his performance on Friday night.
When you walk up to a field with the 12’s you see a full range of sizes, some kids have hit that growth spurt and others haven’t… but baseball is a sport that doesn’t require a particular physique… at the beginning of the game, you can always kinda hear the hushed chatter of the kids making “impressions” of the pitchers that are warming up… these days a lot of these kids are playing each other in travel ball tournaments so sometimes they know each other…
So… I wanted to give a shout out to Mr. Davis. He’s not 6 foot, 220 lbs. but at the end of the game, he was STILL on the mound for Reno American with the win. Bravo for doing your job!
The championships are set… Championship Sunday is coming up!
The 10’s… Reno American vs. Truckee (11 AM, Field 2)
The 11’s… Reno American vs. Carson Valley (2:30 PM, Field 2)
The 12’s… Reno American vs. Reno National (5 PM, Field 2)
The Jrs… Reno American vs. Reno National (10 AM, Field 6)
I’m seeing a trend there… 🙂
There will also be the 3rd place games on Sunday at 10:30 for the 10’s, 1:30 for the 11’s and 4:00 for the 12’s, all on Field 4

I believe it is my sporting obligation to choose the “bat on ball grand slam” as today’s Photo of the Day! 🙂 How can ANYONE argue with THAT call? 🙂
Getting down to just a few teams left in the hunt for the championships for each age division… Some really close games tonight along with some really great plays! Well done players!

Have to go with this one tonight for Photo of the Day… I wasn’t on the ball enough to actually get the play he made but a huge ball of dirt swallowed him… but he made the play and kept the ball in the infield! 🙂
Day 7 down… If you were out at the park tonight you witnessed a great game between the Reno National 12’s and the Reno American 12’s… great game! Should be a teaser for what’s still to come in the tournament!

The Photo of the Day comes from that same game… the first baseman made the play, the runner was out, just liked the out of balance look in the photo of the 1st baseman, fun stuff!
We’re back in action after the 4th of July day off… The tournaments are winding down, teams are going home… the play is certainly heating up! Close action, close games, hard play, this is where it starts to get interesting!
