Babe Ruth Southwest Regional baseball tournament


My summer has been filled with baseball, baseball, baseball. And, I wouldn't have it any other way! McKenna, my stepson, at one point, was playing on 3 different teams. We were practicing everyday for one team or another.
But, as of this weekend, we are officially down to 1 team!! YEAH!!
McK was a part of the Southeast Oklahoma All Star team that went to the Babe Ruth Southwest Regional Tourney. The tournament was this past weekend and we had a blast, didn't win it, but had a blast. We started with the opening ceremonies on Friday morning, then we played our 1st game Friday night. A lot of family came out to watch McK play. He was the only player from our town to be selected for the All-star team. My niece, Macey, came out to watch. She is leaving this weekend for college, where she will be playing softball. She gave McK a lucky bracelet that she wore in the State Softball tourney this year!
She is such a sweet girl! We are going to miss her. Unfortunately, we lost. Our second game was on Saturday at 2 p.m.
I don't know if any of you have caught the weather lately, but the entire state of Oklahoma was under a heat advisory! It was 105 degrees when we got to the field on Saturday. Hot was a mild word. Very mild. We lost this game too. SO, we are spectaturs we became! It was a very nice experience though. There were teams there from Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. It was a wonderful put together tournament too, lots of extra stuff to do. Thursday night there was a dinner and banquet, kinda a meet and greet.
