Welcome to the Weekly Recap at the Baseball First Blog. This section has unfortunately been neglected since we unveiled our redesigned website in May 2011, but we are going to be providing recaps after each tournament as well as updates and news about upcoming tournaments.
2012 Fool’s Gold
With the threat of rain in the forecast and the overcast skies on Saturday morning, there were no guarantees that we would be playing on Sunday. Thankfully after a little bit of rain Saturday night after all the games had finished, the clouds blew out and provided us with a beautiful sunny Sunday to play some baseball. We did have a first for our program at Big League Dreams Riverside when a swarm of bees descended onto Vero during the Semi-Final game between the Rockhounds and the Cougars. The games unfortunately had to be cancelled because of the safety risk the bees posed for the players, coaches, umpires, fans and tournament staff. There’s a first time for everything.
Here are the winners and runners up from the 2012 Fool’s Gold.
