Wow! What a night!  First and foremost, congratulations to all the teams that competed in both the District and State Tournaments.  To be an All Star is a great accomplishment!

And… I want to say a HUGE Congratulations to Mountain Ridge Little League for winning not one, not two but THREE State Championships tonight!  The took the 10 year old division playing a must win double header tonight against a very tough Silverado team.  Congrats fellas, coaches and parents!  Amazing accomplishment for your league!

And also a huge congratulations to the Centennial Junior All Stars for their must win double header tonight against Henderson.  There was some great baseball played tonight… and now it’s all over at Governor’s Field for the season! 🙂

The photo of the day… see below….

I couldn’t resist… except for the traffic patterns in the grass, it’s as if we haven’t had our tent up for the past 24 days and been shooting for 22 of those… we had the 4th of July off and one rain out on Sunday during the State Tournament… I keep telling myself I’m going to take all these thoughts and experiences about how we run our little league tournament “business” and write them down… this might be the year.  I got to witness some amazing things these past three weeks… and of course there are some things I’d wished I’d not witnessed… but you get this many people together it can’t all be great! 🙂  I’ll see you all somewhere soon!  Football season is right around the corner!  Volleyball and Soccer too!

Semifinal day today… the looser’s bracket games to determine who will play tomorrow for the Championship!  Tomorrow at 5:30 at Governor’s Field… “if” games to follow at 8:00…

10 year olds: Mountain Ridge will play Silverado West (Field 3)

11 year olds: Mountain Ridge will play Washoe (Field 4)

12 year olds: Mountain Ridge will play Paseo Verde (Field 2)

Juniors: Henderson will play Centennial (Field 1)

Come on out and watch come great baseball!!

Photo of the Day… I often wonder what they talk about out there… 🙂  Suppose he’s telling him a joke?

Sunday brought us a rain delay… the heavens didn’t want any baseball at Governor’s Field and it postponed everything one day… so play resumed tonight and boy were there some games!!

It’s so great to see the kids really going for it!  The two photos of the day, I just couldn’t leave one out… show the effort to make a play! Play resumes tomorrow at 7:30 PM with just one round of games then Wednesday has a bit of a schedule change due to the rainout yesterday… Wednesday’s Championships will be at 5:30 with an “if” game at 8:00 that night… need to wrap up the tournaments because some winners have to be on the road ASAP for Regionals.

Here are the two photos of the day!  Great effort fellas!

That title’s a little weird to the teams that arrived for opening ceremonies yesterday and started play today… 🙂  sorry, Carson City Little League has been the host of now five divisions of Nevada State All Star baseball at Governor’s Field!!

Just a quick update, the Carson City Intermediate team is wrapping up their trip down to Nogales, AZ for their Regional tournament…

So today, the 10’s, 11’s, 12’s and Junior Divisions all kicked off at Governor’s Field!  … and incase you missed it… it dumped rain and all kinds of lightening today starting around 3:35 when I arrived at the park… but the REAL show came closer to 5:00… LOTS of rain… we had five people under our tent, tables up, things tucked in… I shut down the generator and prepared for a wait… Games today got under way about 90 minutes late… which meant we didn’t get to leave the park until an hour later than we’ve been leaving for the District 1 Tournament… 🙂  Hoping tomorrow will be better….

Photo of the day was an easy one, knew it right in the camera… the expressions, the play, the dirt flying… just love it! 🙂

Congratulations to the Carson City Intermediates!  They’ll be heading off to the Regional Tournament in Nogales, AZ very soon, their tournament starts later this week…

Good Luck in AZ fellas!

Photo of the Day… Love how clear and sharp this is on Cole!

Today was the last day of the Nevada District 1 Junior division tournament… and thus the last day of ALL the District 1 tournaments, a congratulations to the Centennial Junior All Stars for their win tonight!  They’ll begin play in the Nevada State Tournament Saturday, July 19th… still in Carson!! 🙂

… and today was the first day of the Nevada State Intermediate Division Tournament in Carson… The Intermediate’s have to get the show on the road, literally, the Intermediate Regional Tournament starts Thursday in Nogales, AZ…!  Yikes! Carson took the first of the three game series over Summerlin tonight.  They play again tomorrow at 7:30 PM.

Congrats Centennial Juniors!

… and the photo of the day… easy one tonight!  Love this, bare handed this one off the ground to try to make the play at first! 🙂

The Junior Division Championship will be Saturday at 7:30 PM at Governor’s Field 1… Centennial will play Reno Continental.

The Nevada State Intermediate games (there are only two districts represented) will also be at 7:30 on field 6…

… so a great night to come out and see the best 50/70 and the best Junior Division teams around!  … and don’t forget that Ranger Burger at the snack bar! yum!

Photo of the Day… I had another photo chosen then this happened… had to swap my choice!  See you all tomorrow night at the park!  My first early to bed in 17 days! 🙂

Centennial will meet the winner of tomorrow night’s game on Saturday for the Nevada District 1 Junior Division Championship!  Game time will be 7:30 on field 1 at Governor’s Field.

Field 6 will also have the Nevada State Intermediate Tournament going on at 7:30 as well!

Come on out and watch some free baseball!  Get a Ranger Burger at the snack bar… your waistline will not appreciate it but your taste buds will! 🙂

Photo of the Day!  Couldn’t pass this one up… arms flailing everywhere from everyone…

Just to clarify… I will be shooting the next two nights at the Junior All Star Tournament… then we will have our tent set up again on Saturday and Sunday evenings for the Junior Championship and for the Intermediate State Tournament…

We will be set up each evening for the Nevada State Tournament which starts Saturday, July 19th.

Now just down to the Junior’s Division of the Nevada District 1 Little League Tournament…  Photo of the Day was a close call at third… dirt flyin’, the runner and the 3rd baseman gettin’ dirty!  Tournament Baseball anyone?! 🙂 Two games tomorrow (Thursday July 10th for those of us that have no recollection of what day or date it might be…).  Reno American will play Reno Continental at 5:30 on Field 1 and Carson will play Centennial at 8:00 on Field 1. (field 6 will be converted back to a 50/70 field for Saturday’s State Tournament).
