Weekend 2 in the books!

Lil’ TK and the Royals 12U AA Maroon took 4th at the Woodbury Invitational. Even got trophies! And they got a MSF State Berth. They won the two games they needed to in order to make it to Sunday and bracket play. Lil’ TK played short stop a lot and has shown himself to be pretty good in that position. As a treat for a great weekend, made a stop at Hooters in Burnsville on the way home. For the food, of course. 

Kels and the Peppers 12U Blue took 3rd or 4th at the Wayzata Warm-up. (They only recognized the top two teams?!?) IN THE “A” BRACKET! The girls did a great job working together to get the wins needed to move into the bracket with the “A” level teams. They were beat out of the tournament by a good “A” team from Eastview but did manage to stick with them for most of the game, only losing 8-2. Kels was able to get a lot of pitching in due to one of the other pitchers on the team fracturing her ankle. Unfortunately, Adri won’t be back with the team for a month or so. Kels is happy to have the opportunity to focus on pitching but wishes her team-mate and friend a speedy recovery!

Ang loves her new BFF “Lola”. The Tom-Tom GPS device she got for Christmas. Makes getting to the tournaments on her own much easier and stress free!

Big TK is back in the job hunt. PA didn’t work out. Mainly due to lack of backbone on managements part. He’s hoping this stint in the world of the un-employed is short lived. (Ang too!)

One Weekend Down – Seven or So to Go

May 8-9, 2010 - 1ST Weekend of Softball/Baseball went great for the Kopp kids!

Lil’ TK’s Royals 12U AA Maroon team went 3-2 and took 3rd in the Blaine Tournament. The team really pulled together to play well. Supported each other and ground out the win when needed. So fun to watch.

Kels’ Peppers 12U Blue team went 4-0 and won Tier 1 of the Moundsview Madness tournament. Despite 3 collisions going for a fly ball in the in-field due to silence (12-13 yr old girls – really?), the team played well…the bats were singing and the pitches were humming. It was a one-day tournament on the 8th which was a really crappy day weather-wise. 3 mini hail storms, freezing wind and rain did nothing to stop the girls though.
