As a pitcher, you don’t always have your best stuff. Can you still get outs when it’s not your day? Sometimes you are defined more about how you do when you’re not on top of your game than when you are. What if it’s an entire team? What happens when one of the most talented teams in the country is not only missing a few key players, but just doesn’t have it together? Do you look for excuses about the layoff, playing different age groups, the cold? No! You gut it out and find a way and that’s just what the 14u Richmond Braves National team did this weekend. They found ways to get it done under tough circumstances and finished as the Nations Baseball Virginia State Champions!
