Westside Tourney Road Bumps

Our Warriors battled hard but fell to the other Westside Warriors team on Saturday afternoon.  After delayed morning games due to poor field conditions, the 12:00 game began about 2:00.  The second Westside team demonstrated their skilled defensive play, and even the strongest of hits were handled by the opponents.  Sunday morning's game against the Southside Hitmen (Not Express as previously listed by the tournament) started out decently, but lightening and rain delayed our game after 4 innings. 
Our Warriors play Monday, June 28th at 5:00pm to complete the game against the Hitmen.  We have many players who will be at football camp just before the game--but please try to have your player at the fields by 4:45pm.  We left off at the fourth inning, 3-0 against us.  Our Warriors like to come out from behind...so let's hope we finish this game with our heads held high!
GO WARRIORS!!
