2015 Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 4

The toughest day is in the books! 13 games spread across four time slots… the weekend is always the toughest of the tournament! Today saw a strange but welcome mix of weather, some clouds and a touch of rain visited today and cooled things down a bit… well at least for the ambient temperature… there were a couple of games today that were quite intense! Some close battles for sure!

Photographers call it “jube”, short for jubilation… this takes the Photo of the Day honors for the long day… that’s pure excitement right there! 🙂

2015 Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 3

Some nights it’s tough to pick a photo of the day… tonight, I was witness to something unforgettable… 🙂 and I was lucky enough to be able to capture it “in action”…

This isn’t just a regular “ball on bat” photo, this is a grand slam to put Reno National up 12-10 over Carson City after being down 2-10… Reno National would go on to win the game 14-10… what a game, what a memory! 🙂

2015 Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 1

And we’re off! The 2015 Nevada District 1 Little League All Star tournament kicked off yesterday with Opening Ceremonies at 3:00 and the first games for the 10 year olds at 5:30 followed by the 11 year olds at 8:00. The format of the tournament has remained the same but the schedule has been “compressed” a bit because in years past the 12 year olds have started on Saturday but this year, in order to squeeze the tournament in before the 4th of July, the 12’s start tonight, Thursday… you can ALWAYS tell when the 12’s start… ball start flying out of the park! 🙂

Photos are at the link on the left during the tournament or Photo Link.

… and as always, “photo of the day” is back… tonight from the Reno American 10’s game… love the determination of the short stop on this one… Stop by our tent, we have a small gift for you… Nevada Little League District 1, Reno American Little League All Star

2015 NIAA Northern Region Division 1 Baseball, Carson High vs. Damonte Ranch High, April 23, 2015

Wow, what a game tonight at Carson High! I think this one had a little of everything (including rain…) and for the Carson fans, the Senators took a win away from what was the only undefeated team in the North State! The Senators won tonight 7-6 in the top of the 7th inning with Damonte leaving runners on base…

Here are some images from the night, check the galleries to the left under Current Events for more shots from the game.

2015 NIAA Northern Region Division 1 Baseball, Carson High vs. Bishop Manogue, April 6, 2015

The Bishop Manogue Miners visited Carson High tonight for the second game of the series… The Miners were quite aggressive with their base running tonight and took advantage of most every opportunity to put up a run they had. The Miners took the win at Carson tonight 10-3.

Here are a few shots from the night…

Not sure why exactly yet, I just like this shot… Manogue’s Middle Infield, Lucas Howard at second…

… and Web Charles at shortstop…

2015 NIAA Northern Region Division 1 Baseball, Bishop Manogue vs. Carson High, April 4, 2015

Boy, what a game! Hits, runs, home runs, stolen bases and even an ejection! What a baseball game! Carson visited Bishop Manogue today for the first of their home and away series with the Miners and walked away with a win, 7-6. The Senators jumped out in front in the second inning 4-1 after their coach was ejected from the game… Pretty shockingly (at least to me…) the NIAA scheduled an umpire with a previous ejection of a Carson High Coach at the end of last season… it quickly looked very reminiscent of that evening last spring…. if you’re going to be an umpire you need to have patience and pretty thick skin…

The game went down the the 7th inning and Manogue was battling but Carson relief pitcher, Senior Brandon Allen was able to battle through and get the last outs needed to give Carson the win. The battle continues on Monday at 6:00 PM at Carson High. Hope to see you out there!

Here are some shots from today’s game…

Bishop Manogue Miner Pitcher Alec West-Guillen, LOVE his facial expressions when he’s pitching!Carson Senator Senior Brandon Allen leading his team onto the scoreboard in the second inning!
I always wonder what they’re saying… 🙂Manogue has turf on the infield, the one thing photographically you loose when there’s no dirt infield is that little puff of dirt when the ball hits the glove… have to get that Monday night instead @ Carson.Jesse Lopez fielding a ball in left field.Brandon Allen tagging Anthony Galati out at third base.
I love Manogue’s scoreboard… makes a nice background for Webb Charles as he throws to first for an out.The forces of baseball… even on a young person’s arm… love the face Connor Pradere, so much focus!Senior Senator Brandon Allen getting it done on the mound…I love side arm guys… they’re body goes into the most graceful of positions… he looks like the π (pi) symbol to me… even has the little kick up of the front foot… 🙂 Manogue Pitcher Benjamin Rawlins.
