Day 5 in the books, day off tomorrow! Whew! We’re tired!
Today started the “going home” stage of the tournaments… that ramps up the “urgency” for me in getting photos, it’s been a busy weekend with long hours! We get a break for the 4th of July Holiday tomorrow and back at it Tuesday evening.
We’ll see you at the field on Tuesday!

Here’s the photo of the day!
A shoutout to the Umpires today! They are ALL volunteers for this tournament! Thank you ALL!!
The first long day is in the books! 12 games today… 12 games tomorrow… I’m tired! 🙂

Here’s the Photo of the Day! I just like the dust flying around the ball and catchers glove… the wind and heat are drying out the fields quickly so the dust is flying!
Another home run, another celebration photo, or as us photographers like to say “jube” photo… (jubilation…)

Photo of the Day for SURE!! No doubt the happiest face in baseball today!
Day one is in the books! I’m not used to seeing the 12’s playing on the first day… there were some really great games tonight!
No question for me today, this was the Photo of the Day! You can see the entire sequence of the play in the gallery.

See you at the field tomorrow!
Here we go again!!
Year ten, in a row for us… it’s amazing to look back and see all that’s happened in that time! Some great memories and some great friendships have been made on the ball fields of Northern Nevada!!
As usual, I’ll have the Photo of the Day here on the site, stop by the tent, I have a small “prize” for you if your photo makes the “Photo of the Day”…
Each year I try to come up with something new, a new collage design normally… this year, going for something different… you’ll have to let me know what you think. Here are some samples, stop by the tent and see them in print.
See you out at the ball field!
Went out and set up the tent today… the fields look great, the weather’s going to be hot… Good times ahead!

Carson City Little League Major’s Championship
Super close game that ended 1-0! Quite the pitching duel between three All Star Players, Eddie, Alan and Tanner, well done tonight fellas, now it’s time to come together for All Stars!
Congratulations to the Centennial Junior Little League All Star team! They defeated Reno American tonight to take the title! They’re off to the State Tournament shortly! Well done fellas, good luck at State!
The Championship is set! Centennial will play Reno American for the Junior Little League All Star Championship on Saturday night at Governor’s field in Carson City, NV.
The Photo of the Day… something a little more “fun” tonight… I get to see a lot of balls go by batters… makes for a lot of deleted photos… but sometimes you get one like this… Just makes me smile, what’s going through his mind right at this split second? 🙂
And now we’re down to three… Truckee defeated North Tahoe today and will play Reno American tomorrow as the loser’s bracket semi-final. Centennial will play the winner on Saturday for the Championship. Game time tomorrow is 6:30 PM. The Championship on Saturday is at 7:00 PM.
The Photo of the Day… some stuff you know is happening but you just can’t see it… this pitcher picked off at least one first base runner with only this little glance to check the runner at 1st. 🙂
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… 🙂
