Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 12

The third place game will be at 7:30 PM tomorrow night (same time as the Championship…) on Field 4 at Governor’s Field in Carson City… Tonight Reno American and Washoe battled for a place in the third place game against South Tahoe Little League… Washoe prevailed in six innings… the final score was 18-14!!  WOW! Fun game, a lot of runs, home runs, etc…

Here’s the Photo of the Day… I was torn between a home run hit or this… I like the lingering dust off of the glove!130708_Washoe LL_Photo of the Day

Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 8

Whew, tonight is over!  This is our seventh year doing either the Renegade/Hooligan Tournament (2008, 2012) or the All Star Tournament (2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) and this is the first year we’ve had an official lightning delay!  Fires popping up on the foothills around us tonight as the weather put on a light and sound show….  This of course pushed the evening very late… so just a quick post here….

Here’s the Photo of the Day, I can’t pass this one up, this was a game changing homer… South Tahoe’s 12’s team went into the top of the 7th inning tied 2-2 with Carson Valley… this homer and the next batter’s homer changed EVERYTHING at the field, it really deflated the Carson Valley team….130703_South Tahoe LL_Photo of the Day

Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 5

You can always tell when the 12 year old start playing… the number of ball flying over the outfield fence increases significantly!  There was a home run love fest today!  I’m running around like a crazy man but I think I witnessed six home runs tonight, nearly got hit by the ball flying from field 2 to field 4 where I was shooting…!!!

So… for the Photo of the Day today… a home run swing…!

Happy July!130630_South Tahoe LL_Photo of the Day

Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 3 & 4

Friday night was a long one (delayed game because of an extra inning game that eventually was moved to an open field…) followed by an early morning on Saturday (today…) so no update occurred last night… 🙂

The first Saturday of the All Star Tournament is always a long one! 14 games today! So I’m BEAT… but wanted to post two “Photo of the Day” winners!  We’re back out tomorrow for three time slots, 1:30, 4:30 and 7:30.  We’re now in full swing, all three age divisions are playing…

These photos are just simply because I like them! 🙂  This first one, I love the lighting, this field is a HUGE pain for trying to shoot on at certain times, this photo defies that… I really like how the sun is lighting him…130628_North Tahoe LL_Photo of the DayThis was a strange play, well, strange to me… there was a hubbub about a rule about… I love his expression toward the umpire!  These little things are what I love about sports, those moments of joy for the game… 🙂130629_Reno American LL_Photo of the Day
