UPDATE--
our team from Memphis has played two games against the Esperanza Royal Blue Devils, winning 12-10 on Sunday night and getting SHEEELACKED last night 14-2 as Jason ( national ) hit the Devils to victory with a 340 foot shot and Jose ..the pitcher for the National Champs Belmopan Compre shut us down, along with Derrick Jones with 5 rbi's, I play first base but am in right field when these guys bat, I need my teeth to eat !
I have been thrilled to face two of the nation's finest pitchers ( Jason and Milton ) the last two nights along with Jose.
Jason threw me 3 straight change ups and then a smokin 71 MPH fastball, I was caught looking as it flew by belt high, or that is what the umpire told me.
Milton threw his fastball twice and then I went down on a hard slider, but at 52 years old, it was quite and experience getting to face Belize finest, ( both of them were throwing easy to me, they had alot more but were nice to me )I did get one base hit, but it was just a lucky swing, these guys are AWESOME
We play again the next three days and are doing clinics twice a day at area schools, giving away supplies and having batting clinics.
Derrick Jones is helping out and is a kind young man, I have gotten to know him and Patrick this week.
We will be back home on SP Friday, come out at 1 :30 lagoon field to see how our clinics are run (really cool ) and Saturday some of these national stars are going to try to make it to the lagoon field as we play from 9-3, dont forget our home run derby at 4 PM Saturday keep all the balls and we will hand out final four shirts & medals to SPHS..see you then..goodby from Cayo
