Summer can’t get here fast enough…

Diamond Kings Champs

Braves 14u North Win Diamond Kings

One weekend of cold, wind, and snow wasn’t enough for the new look 14U Richmond Braves North team; they decided to take the field again. Saturday offered the warmest weather of the two days and saw the Braves go 2-0 earning the second seed for Sunday’s elimination play and a trip into the semifinals. Sunday, however, was a battle from the start. Temperatures were holding in the mid 30′s with the wind chill, and just holding the bat was a challenge. After winning their first game through a run shortened slaughter rule game the Braves found themselves against the 1 seed Central VA Rams.  The Rams had only given up 3 runs total runs en-route to a 3-0 record. The Rams had an early lead 2-1 before the Braves took charge of the game. When the final out was registered, the Braves won their second championship in as many weeks 11-2. This championship was a true team effort.

The Braves scored a total of 53 runs and used 9 different pitchers. Congratulations to Mike, Ray, Brent, Brenton, Ryan, Tyler T, Kyle, Tommy, Tyler S, Cole, Trey, and Tanner.
