Have you ever been a part of something unreal? Because you understand, you can understand what I went through that day. I have never been more excited than I was that day. This particular event took place in 2010. We were in Pulaski, and we had to win a baseball tournament. We were the underdogs of the entire tournament. Here is the story.
We were in the middle of the 15 minute drive to Pulaski and we were in a 2010 silver Chevy Camaro. That was my good luck token throughout the tournament. When we arrived most of the team was already there. We got ready to warm up for the first game. I saw the doubt on my teammates face’s. We hadn’t won a tournament game all year, much less a tournament. When we started the first game I tried to keep my head …show more content…
We needed to beat two more teams to be into the championship. We needed to win two games to be in the championship game. We ended up beating Pulaski 5-0, knocking them out of playoff contention.
We needed to beat the New London B team again to be in the championship game. That game went by like a blur, but I know we won 4-3. We were in the championship game. After the game we celebrated on winning the game.
The next day when we started warming up for the game we recognized the other team. Bonduel was the team that we were facing. I was talking to Jason VDL. I said” Do you think that we will win?”
“ We will have to see,” he replied.
We started the game on a bad note. We tried to get going, but we didn’t, and they were on a roll. They scored 6 runs in the first inning. We ended up holding them to no runs the next four innings. In the third inning we got on a roll scoring five runs. The score was 6-0. We needed a spark. Jason gave us a huge spark. Two outs, bases empty, score is 5-6, full count. Jason gets walked. There is the tying run on first base. The next batter hits a base hit to fight field and scored Jason. He stole third base . The next batter Owen Gertz, hits a bomb to left field. The score is 7-6, we were winning. They had to score 2 runs just like we did but they didn't. We won the game and we got a trophy that was made of marble. I learned something that weekend, Never give
