Canes 2013 Memorial Day Warm-Up

What a GREAT weekend for Hurricane baseball! The Hurricane's were in their first tournament this weekend, we were at the 2013 Memorial Day Warm-Up B/C All-Star Tournament at Hobgood Ball Park. We started our Tournament out Friday night playing the Central Park Braves. The Hurricanes were AMAZING! We had hot bats and great defense and won that game 18-2. Then after a much needed rest we started out our Saturday with a nice cool game between the Shaw Park Outlaws. Again, we brought our A game, and had excellent defense and were rounding the bases at such a steady pace that we made our third base coach's arm sore from sending everyone HOME! We won our second game 18-3. If you are counting, so far we have allowed the other teams to score only a total of 5 runs! We were thrilled to miss the hot afternoon sun Saturday and not play again until 6pm. We played our third game against the Macedonia Mustangs Blue and enjoyed another win with the score ending 26-11. What a great day of baseball!


A little cage work to start our tournament!


Hit...Run...Score! Hit...Run...Score! You get the picture.


Team meeting after a GREAT victory!



We played so well Friday and Saturday that we earned ourselves the #1 position in the Gold Bracket for Sunday. That is very impressive for our first tournament. That means we were the top rated team out of 10 different teams. We had a 1:30pm game against the Canton Noles, only to lose 31-16. One game out from the championship game made the loss a little bittersweet, but all in all this weekend really fired us up for some more exciting summer ball games!

Next week we will be at the Hobgood Summer Showdown and it looks like we are going to start with a real pressure cooker by playing the East Cherokee Cobras(the Champs from the Memorial Day Tournament) at 9am Saturday morning and then immediately following at 10:30 we play the West Cobb Warriors. I have faith that our boys can win both of these games!

Now, for some business news. This Thursday, May 30th, Woodstock's Canyon Burger restaurant is sponsoring a 6U Hobgood Hurricanes Spirit day!
