U12 All-Star Update

Hey Braves,
Although the Braves’ season is over, I know that several of our guys are on other teams that are still playing. Please send updates to everyone so that we can keep track – and so that we can attend their games!
Here’s a first update::
Chris is on the WFB U-12 all-star team. Tuesday evening the boys defeated Grafton, 10-5, at Beckum Field in Milwaukee. The Bay team fell behind early in the game, 4-0. Bay inched back to be only one run behind, and then scored seven runs in the fifth inning (most of them with two outs) to take a 10-4 lead. Grafton scored a harmless run in the sixth inning, but that was all.
Highlights included great pitching by Joe Kaszubowski (who plays for the Dodgers in WFB Little League). Joe pitched five and a third innings, striking out 13. Andrew James (Phillies) blasted a two-run homer over the center-field fence. In the final inning Henry Davies (Phillies) caught a fly ball in deep center field and pegged a strike to home to nail a runner who had tagged up at third. It was a game-ending double play.
Chris started the game in right field. He had two singles in two trips to the plate, the second of which drove in the game-tying run in the fateful fifth inning. He took over on the mound with one down in the sixth inning and closed out the game.
The U-12 all-star team continues its post-season play at Beckum with games at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. Lots of WFB little leaguers and their families were in the stands Tuesday evening to root for the local team. It would be great to see some of the Braves there for the rest of the games.
Beckum Field is at 9th and Brown in Milwaukee, and the concession stand is really good! If you’d like to attend one of the games this week and need directions to the field, let me know. If anyone would like a ride, I can fit two or three guys in my Honda.
It would be great to learn about the schedules of other Braves who are in post-season competition.
Dave
