Hunt for Eggcellence Tournament

Bobby's team, The Dallas Stars, participated in the Hunt for Eggcellence Tournament ALL day Saturday. The tournament was set up with one pool game and then single elimination. We arrived at the ballpark in McKinney, Texas at 8:15 for team warm ups. The boys played their first game against the Irving Mets and won 20-5. It was great to see the boys really working hard together. Our next game was at 1pm against the TCA Twins. Again, our boys came out batting like champs and fielding with no errors. The Stars won 13-5. Our boys were on a winning high and you could see the fire in their eyes. I was so proud of how every single boy was contributing to the team. At 6pm, the Stars played in the semi-final game against the Frisco Thunder. It was the hardest game of the day so far because it decided who was going to the championship game. The Stars won 13-10 and were headed to their first tournament championship game this season!! At 8:30 we began our fight for the 1st place trophy against the NTX Coyotes. The first 3 innings the Stars held the Coyotes to 3 runs so they were winning 9 to 3. The fourth inning, the Coyotes came out fighting with some seriously good bats and the inning ended with the score 10-9. The Stars were down by one point. Unfortunately, the Coyotes won 16 to 15. The one point loss was hard for some of our boys to take, but I am proud of the way they played hard and didn't give up. Way to go, Stars!!!
