To the Fans of the 2010 USSSA Boys State Baseball Tournament

This weekend was the biggest baseball weekend of the year! Boys State Championship.

There are many highlights for both boys but first a thanks to the Underwood fans! There were 9 games over the weekend. All were attended by at least one Underwood fan at all times. With only three fans available, we did a great job covering the games. A big thanks for Grandpa Al fan extrordinaire. There was only one time he was wearing the wrong colors at a game. He didn't miss a minute of action!

The weekend was rocky with The Xtreme losing half of their games to rain (imagine if we had needed to cover yet another 3 games). Field changes on the fly (20 miles apart) and many rain delays and reschedules. Back to back games with only 20 minutes in between at times. Heat index reaching 101 and humidity that makes Florida look like a vacation destination this time of year.

With our stadium chairs, fold out chairs, umbrellas and cameras in hand we set up, packed up, and claimed our ground game after game seeking shade and fighting crowds. We had our SD cards ready and got many great shots. Somehow though, we did not get any of ourselves.

See the hightlights in the next blog!
