Titans Take First!



This may be the last time that I get to blog about Jake's baseball season, as it's coming to a close - finally! So, bear with me as I brag once more.....

Jake's team played in a tournament this last weekend - UEA break for us. They played two games on Thursday and won both. Then on Friday they won their first game 13-12. The second game they lost to the Cache Valley Beavers (what kind of name is that?) 12-13. So, we had to wait around for a few hours to see what they were seeded in order to know if we would be able to play in the championship game. As it worked out, they ended up playing the Cache Valley Beavers for the championship. I think those Beavers were a little full of themselves when we started because they had already beaten us once that day. So, when we came into the championship game, Jake's team was ready for them! The Titans ended up beating them 11-2!

What surprised me the most was what sore losers they were. And I'm not talking about the kids on the team! The parents and the coaches were the worst behaved parents that I have ever seen. They were yelling out insults to the kids and tried to pick fights with our coaches. Kim has a pretty cool head, but he was ready to hurt somebody. They were so rude and obnoxious that it took the fun out of winning for the kids. They were too busy watching the other teams coaches and listening to the Beavers rude fans. Anyway, the Titans served them up a big piece of Humble Pie - and they deserved it!

What a cool kid you've got :) That's awesome that they won! It really drives me nuts when parents get so worked up like that.
