Unfortunately, the season is over for the U10 all stars. After a great first game against Northwest LL, WFB fell to Germantown on Monday night with a score of 12-5 (if I remember correctly). Germantown is a very good team both at the plate and in the field. Our team had a tough time hitting in the first four innings but rallied in the late innings. Germantown was very aggressive with their base running, picking up many runs on passed balls and single & double steals. We had too few hits and too many errors to pull it out. It was a great learning experience for the kids and coaches.
Tonight we lost a nail biter to Elmbrook LL. If we had won, we would have advanced to play Wednesday night. The teams traded runs until the mid point of the game when WFB held a four-run lead. Elmbrook stormed back in the 5th to take a one-run lead. The Dukes tied the game in the top of the 6th but in the bottom of the last inning they allowed the winning run to score on a passed ball with two outs. It was a very, very exciting game for all involved (especially the fans who turned out), and a great experience for the kids. Even though they were a little sad, all the kids could be proud of the way they played and are better for the experience.
We will continue to cheer on the U11 team and hope to make it to one of their games.
This has truly been a great season!
