Championship Baseball

It might be Game 7 of the World Series tonight but that isn't what we are excited about.   Connor and Needham Green are playing in the Championship game of their fall travel season.  Per the grapevine, it is the first time a Needham team made it to the final round.  This year both teams are from Needham.  What a big win for Needham Baseball!

 First order of business, good sportsmanship with handshakes for all.

 Then to make it official the National Anthem.  

 Top of the third and Connor's team was leading 5-0.  In one inning, suddenly it was a tied game.

Then in the fourth inning the heavens opened and it was pouring.  The kids continued to play.  They played through some of the worst conditions I have ever seen.  Connor pitched the final three innings and it was fantastic.  Unfortunately, the defense did not hold up due to the weather conditions.  Needham Green lost the game 7-6 but it was an amazing game which could have ended either way.

Connor, There is no loss that is easy but to know you did your best is what you hold onto.  You played hard and you had fun.  Keep your competitive streak alive and remember to work hard.  We love you!  We also couldn't be prouder of you.
