After a night of thunder and rain storms, the NH Grizzlies’ game against the Redhawks of St. Louis is delayed until 5 p.m. Both are top teams in the tournament, so this should be a very good game. Both teams will have their #34’s back for the game. The Redhawks #34, and our #34 (my son, Brandon) were ejected from pool games for mowing down catchers on plays at the plate. What I find unique, is that they both blasted the same catcher, in two different games against the School of Hard Knocks from Indiana. Brandon didn’t do it intentionally, but the rule says you must slide, and he didn’t. So he sat for the remainder of that game, as well as the second. Check out the tournament schedule here.

Yesterday we explored the St. Louis arch and the Anheuser-Busch Brewery with the Gray family. Check out the photos below.

Now off to the batting cages soon, for some practice before tonight’s big game.
