Little Rock Early Bird NIT

1st Place

Saturday, March 21st the DirtBags played in the North Little Rock Early Bird NIT 9u tournament. The boys were anxious to get started. They had a great day. They played for 9 straight hours. We had two games scheduled back to back, but we fell in the losers bracket the first game and so that meant we ended playing 4 games back to back with only 10 mins between each game. We had the best umpires! They truly enjoyed umpiring and intermingled with all the kids (even the ones not on the field). It seems like a long time since I have seen umpires that were there and having fun.

The boys played against the Arkadelphia Niners and the Malvern Renegades.
Game 1 - 14-10 vs. Niners (Niners beat us)
Game 2 - 19-3 vs. Renegades
Game 3 - 10-2 vs. Renegades
Game 4 - 10-5 vs. Niners (Championship Game)

1st Game Day

Saturday, March 7 was our first game day. We had a couple of practice games against Junction City's State Line Bandits. They are a 10 year old tournament team. The DirtBags did good up against this BIG boys. Some of the boys made 2 of our boys. They started their "star" pitchers. Of course, we didn't do to good against them. One mom said that one of the pitchers was her son and he had pitched for 4 years. HELLO this is our first year to pitch. When they put in their 9 year old pitcher we did really good. Our boys put the ball in play.

I believe that each DirtBag had a great time and are looking forward to going to Arkadelphia next Saturday. Check back for updates.

Awards went to: Shannon Bond, Chris Branson, Marcus Bornslater (aka Flipper), Brady Pippen and Garrett Courson. The boys are given awards after each game for some outstanding play that happened during the game. These awards are voted on by the parents.
