It's hard to put this weekend into words.
Six games. Two days. ๐๐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐.

It doesn't tell you about Tylen hitting .500 with 11 RBIs over the weekend. Charlie's perfect ๐-๐๐จ๐ซ-๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ฆ๐ ๐. Bode's huge double in the championship that helped erase a four-run deficit. Carter's clutch game-tying hit later in that same comeback.

๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐.๐.๐๐๐๐.
Down by five. One run at a time, these boys clawed their way back. They took the lead, battled into extra innings, and came up just one run short on a walk-off.
Was it heartbreaking? Absolutely.
But if you were there, you know the score isn't what we'll remember.

From the first pitch Saturday morning until the final out Sunday night, he was there every inning, every game, hustling, helping, and cheering on his team. Reid, we're proud of you too, buddy. That silver medal belongs around your neck just as much as anyone else's.
To every player, every family, and every fan who cheered us on this weekend...thank you.
This group proved exactly what Trackside baseball is all about. The trophy would've been nice, but what these boys showed this weekendโheart, resilience, grit, and the willingness to play for the guy beside themโis something no trophy can measure.
