2010 ALL STAR BASEBALL

Well the regular season left us with a bad taste in our mouths, as W went undefeated until the last two games. His record was 14-2. Losing the last two games was tough, since the previous two years he had not lost a game. We got in a quick week at the beach and then headed back for All-Star practice. This year the tournament is hosted by Homewood.

Our first game against Alabaster was a doozy. After 6 hard fought innings we found ourselves behind by 4. We had a bottom of the 6th rally to score 7 runs to win the game. Our second game against Vestavia was another close game. We battled back to be ahead by 1 going into the last inning. Vestavia pulled out all the stops and we couldn't stop anything as we watched them rack up 6 runs. We lost 14-9. The next game was the second of a double header in which we played Homewood. We recovered and won 14-1.

We were slated in the 3 position and on Sunday found ourselves playing Hoover East for either the 5 or 6 seed position. After the first inning and spotting Hoover10 runs, we just could not come back. So our record so far is 2-3.

So now we are scheduled to play #3 seed Oak Mountain in the first game of the tournament.

If we get at least one more win we will have improved our All-Star record each year.
2008 - 0-5; 2009 2-5;
