And then there were four… two teams exited the tournament Wednesday night… Carson City lost a close error filled game against Truckee and Reno National lost to North Tahoe.  This puts North Tahoe playing Truckee and Reno American will play Centennial (winner’s bracket) on Thursday.

Photo of the Day… sometimes you are “over lensed”, meaning I’m too close to get the entire piece of action… with the larger junior fields (high school and up as well…) I shoot with a larger lens than when I shoot Little League… and when the action happens you have to decide if you’re going to try to shoot or not… here’s an example, I pushed the shutter button and hoped I got something… 🙂

The weather would lead you to believe there are no games going on… but the evenings have been great for shooting because the sky is a great big soft pillow of light and there haven’t been any harsh shadows on the faces… this is great for photos!! 🙂

The Photo of the Day… the slides have been popping up the bags pretty regularly… something I’m not used to seeing at either the Little League or High School levels…

And the tournament goes on!  Now the Junior division will play all this week at Governor’s Fields 1 and 6.  Night 1 (day 11 of the total tournament) kicked off with Carson playing Reno American and Reno National playing Centennial.  Reno American and Centennial both picked up first round wins and will play again Tuesday night against North Tahoe and Truckee respectively…

Here’s the Photo of the Day for Day 11 of the tournament and Day 1 of the Juniors… Was he safe or out? 🙂

Congratulations to the 11 year old Reno National team and the 12 year old Washoe Team on your Nevada District 1 Little League Championships!!!

Two very good games!  And this was the first year in all 9 of my years of doing these tournaments that I got to shoot the 12 year old championship game without the consolation championship also being played… 🙂

Here’s the 11’s Reno National Team!  Congrats Fellas!

And the 12’s Washoe Team! Congrats Fellas!!

 

And I can’t resist this shot… I’ve gone with two “jube” photos already and am going to end the first leg of the tournament with one last one… This is the same pitcher that I had for photo of the day earlier for his intensity… and face…

The celebrations are priceless!  I love this shot!
