U12, U10 updates featuring Braves family

{Guest blogger Karen Kimple sent this update about some recent success by some of the Braves family:]
The U-12 Jr Blue Dukes tournament team competed in the Port Washington Baseball Tournament this past weekend. The U-12 Blue team, which includes Connor Kimple, easily won their first game on Friday night against the Jackson J Hawks, with the slaughter rule kicking in. This tournament had a neat feature where the coaches each voted for the game MVP of the opposing team. For that first game, Connor got the MVP medal, presumably for his opening pitching and strong at bats. On Saturday, the team played Sheboygan (I think) and once again the slaughter rule was enacted. Due to the nasty weather and soggy fields, all games were canceled for Sunday. Based on its performance, though, the team qualified for the Championship Game, which will be played sometime in the future.

The U-10 team, which includes Carson, had a similar experience, winning all 3 of its games through Saturday evening. They too qualified for the Championship Game, which will be scheduled in the near future.
