Heard Around the Horn

"We had a great time this weekend. Your facility was very clean and everyone was very friendly. It was a nice place to spend a long Sunday. Our players really enjoyed trying to get a home run over the Green Monster [at Bobby Beach], three of them made it."

"This is Jason from the Dickinson Gators 8U team and I just wanted to thank you guys for the fall league and the fact that we played every game at BLD was also very nice.  We beat the [other team] 5-2 in a tough one. Once again thanks and we hope to see you next year."

"Hey!  Great tournament this weekend.  We almost made it to the Championship Game!
We were up 2 runs.  The game time had expired and the home team was up to bat with
two outs and hit a line drive down third base to win the game.  Man!  We were soooo close!

But, we enjoyed the teams we played this weekend!  Thanks for a smooth tournament!"

Carole Nunn
Missouri City Heat 12 AA
