USSSA Veterans Day Salute

Last Saturday, the Finest played two games out at Rio Vista Park in Peoria.  The first game at 1 pm against the LP Tigers resulted in a loss of 9-1.  The second game was against the Stetson Hills Stealth and was a much closer game.  The temperature started dropping so it was much more enjoyable to watch and I'm sure play as well.  This one ended up a loss as well but only 2-3.  It seems like we lose a lot of these games by our errors and not the superiority of the other team.

On Sunday, we returned to Big League Dreams for hopefully 3 games but sadly the Finest only played against the AZ Wildfire before getting eliminated.  Final score Wildfire 5, Finest 4.  Seems like we should have had this one.  It was definitely in our reach.

AZ USSSA Halloween Scream

The weather is finally cooling off....now is a good time to play ball.  Saturday's games were against the Legends and AZ Aces.  The game against the Legends ended as a loss for the Finest, 1 to 9.  The Aces  game was much closer in score but also a win this time, 10 to 8.

Halloween Sunday the Finest played the North Valley Kings, Chandler Rangers, and finally the AZ Blaze.  The Finest won the first game against the Kings 7-2.  The Chandler Rangers lost to the Finest, 0-8. And finally the championship game against the AZ Blaze was a win for the Finest with 17, and the AZ Blaze with 5.  Hopefully the next time we play the AZ Blaze they will have matured a little.  At the end of the game when both teams line up for a handshake and "good game", the Blaze used it for "showoffs".  Maybe they should just stick to playing in their own age group.

Great job Finest!!!
