Slap Hands!
Had my first ground rule double, that never went past the infield. Ticked 3b glove, off his head, out of play over fence.

We finished T-8 at McQuades. Two typical losses. One game 10 errors the other 7 Runs. It's pretty crazy to see 12 games going on at one time just at our complex. Two other complexs that we didn't even get to see because we lost our first game. You wouldn't know softball is dieing if you go this tourney.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before, or will see it again.
Solid run for you guys after losing the first game.
This was our first McQuades and that is a FUN tournament. The atmosphere is beyond anything we have locally. I've never seen kegs and so many coolers being pulled around on carts. We were fortunate enough to have later games Friday and Saturday at the main complex. Our 8:30pm Saturday game against Russell's was one of the most fun games I've been part of. There were a TON of people around the whole field. Fans down the foul lines were pouring beer into the Russell's RFer's mouth every inning he went out. Our CF shotgunnned a beer with some people standing out near him. My only complaint about that game was the umpire crew. The home plate umpire was totally unapproachable and wanted to call time limit. He tried telling us it was the last inning with 13 minutes left on the clock. We ended up losing by 2 runs in 6 innings because of time limit. Rules are rules, but that stung a bit. Overall, it was an awesome experience.
The rules seemed to be different for everyone. You'll get that with 200 different umps. We had no time limits, umps that were approachable, but zero drinking if your team was in a game. Didn't matter if you left the dugout. Otherwise we were free to do whatever.
I heard Kaposia was a split between Chucks and GAF because of "weather". It sounds like they may not have been able to play the championship.
Was happy to see some bigger Minnesota teams make the trek to McQuades. I have played in every major tourney in MN, SD, ND and there is nothing like McQuades games at Clem Kelly (main complex) so I'm glad you got to experience that. A few years ago I played with MMB vs Russell's on Friday night and it was the coolest thing ever having thousands of people root for you (anyone playing against Russell's will usually have the fans rooting for them, ha).Solid run for you guys after losing the first game.

Any of you guys looking to get some swings in tonight? Could use one at Evergreen in Brooklyn Center at 8:20/9:20.
Doesn’t matter what position. We’ll make it work.
