All, The day dawned much cooler yesterday for Day 3 of the Washington State Juniors Tournament. Although very windy, the temps never got above 85 so the players were less stressed in the heat. Attendance was good for the two games we played. Game 1 D12 – Pasco National LL 0 vs. D6 Hazel Dell LL 25 Game 2 D11 – SWAT 22 vs. D7 SWLL 29 Pasco and SWAT are done for the tournament. There have been 8 games so far and 6 of them ended by mercy rule. In game 2 yesterday we thought the game would be over due to the 15 run rule, SWAT was down 22 to 0 going into the bottom of the 3rd but - came back and put 15 runs on the board in the bottom of the 3rd. The bulk (like 80% ) of the runs were scored on walks. The game went the full 7 innings and was 4:50 long (yes 4 hours and 50 minutes long!) you heard right - FOUR HOURS AND FIFTY MINUTES LONG. I heard someone say something funny… “I knew we had a problem when the announcement came over the loud speaker from the press box that they were closing the snack shack and then I realized we still had a couple innings to play”. That’s how long the game was. 😊 Regards JP DA WA5/13
