"Westside Storm's First Tournament"


We had our first tournament this weekend with Kirk's new traveling team. For those of you that have not heard Kirk hand picked a team of kids that will play various tournaments throughout the year. It is seperate from our little league but consists of many 12 year olds from Roseville West little league. These boys are all very skilled and dedicated players. Six All-stars from Roseville West (including A.J.) and four All-star players that play for surrounding leagues. The other two boys are also very good players. It was held out at the Sacramento sports complex. Very cool place! They have 4-5 fields with a big diner in the middle. Great food, big screen t.v. and video games. They had great coffee too which was a big plus. It was freezing!!!! We had our first game at 9:00 a.m. ( a double header) and had to play the early game on Sunday too. The boys got through first tournament jitters and learned a great deal. The rules of play are major league rules, not little league. There were some mistakes at first but by the third game they played really well. A.J. pitched a great game on Sunday and had some good at bats. We play our next tournament next weekend out at the same complex.
