PS If you are looking for good eats with the team try Rudy’s (on 35 south of Baylor, Valley Mills exit) Ninfa’s (off University Parks and Franklin downtown in the “warehouse” restraunts) or Brazos Steak House (on MLK other side of the river and down a ways). You and Diane would probably enjoy the Olive Branch (down town) El Siete Mares (1915 Dutton..looks like a whole in the wall but has AWESOME Mexican Seafoood) or Panerea Bread in Central Texas Marketplace(Hwy 6 and 35) They have a Books-a-Million and Cold Stone there too! OH, I almost forgot, if you take Waco Drive out of dowtown towards McGregor, you will find a B&N (complete with a Starbucks 4 Diane) on the righta few blocks before the mall. Call us if we can help you navigate around!

This tournament is always run so well.

At Sectionals in Ft. Worth, there was a controversy in the final game of the losers’ bracket. The winner of the Dallas district — from Sulpher Springs, I believe — was playing the host Ft. Worth team.

When the Dallas pitcher went one pitch over the max (a mistake on the Dallas coach’s part), the Ft. Worth coach walked out and protested the game. It ended right there.

The scorekeeper (from the Ft. Worth league) didn’t stop the pitcher before he became ineligible.

In the coach’s meeting before the Waco tournament, they said that they will not allow a pitcher to become ineligible. It isn’t a test of a team’s ability to keep pitch count; it’s an attempt to protect a pitcher’s arm. And, the guy in charge said, it is also the responsibility of the opposing coaches, in the name of sportsmanship, to stop the other pitcher from becoming ineligible. In other words, if you know the other team’s pitcher is about to go over the pitch count, it’s your responsibility to stop him from doing so.
