Our All-Star team fought hard, but lost twice to a local team 2-1 and then 3-2 in extra innings. This weekend, the winners are in Vancouver, WA for the state tournament. While we are sad for Buick, we are happy to be home and have our lives back! Our local paper didn't cover the tournament, but our opponets did. Here's a link that mentions Buick's inside the park homerun (near the end of the article).
And here's the link to the story about our final loss Buick pitched into extra innings for the final game.

Tonight it's do-or-die for the 9-10 year old West Seattle Little League All Stars. Brad, Buick, Odis and I have been living and breathing Little League since mid-June. We are two games away from making it to the Washington State Tournament for our age group.

Buick has had some great moments. He hit and inside the park homerun and literally hurdled over the catcher, landing safely on the plate. Last night, he was called in to pitch the last inning with bases loaded and no outs. Buick got the save and his team advanced to the Championship game tonight. If we win, we still have to play one more game! Go Geoducks (that's our self proclaimed mascot).

I'll report back after tonight's game!

Oh yeah, Buick was announced as "Buck" at our first game and his teammates have made it his nickname!
