8 & Under LL Tourney

[iwonsee]

Lumberton is once again hosting their 8 & Under LL Tourney. Start date is sometime around June 1st depending on how many teams enter. This will be a LL tourney not select, however any local league can bring as many teams as they would like to enter. It will be a Kid Pitch (from 42 feet) tourney. We will follow the Minor league tourney rules out of the green book except were otherwise noted. Please contact Tod at 658-1230 or Jason at 658-4465 or Anderea at 351-4466 for any more info. Thanks

There will be a meeting Thursday night at the LLL park for anyone interested!

I understand that the schedule is out. Anyone have it?

[TradinUp BH]

Since our league don't have an 8U all stars, our dads put together a team, but we're playing in a tourney in BMT on 6/20. I wish we could've played in ya'lls tourney, but they only want to play in one and that was the weekend everyone was free. Good luck to all of the teams

[iwonsee]

The bracket will be on the Lumberton website in the morning sometime. Google Lumberton Little League that is the best way to find the site. I know Lumberton Plays Spindle top.

[iwonsee]

Saw some great kids tonight! Lumberton beat Spindletop Jasper beat Amelia  Lumberton plays West End and Jasper plays Silsbee tomorrow.

I hear that the Lumberton coaches are talking about putting a 8&U team together for the fall and beyond!

VLL vs NLL

BC vs GNLL

Both games to be played at Groves LL.

I got my money on BC. Every strong pitching. Very strong

[Guest kf89]

nll beat vll 19-0. groves beat b.c. 8-7. seward for groves had a clutch hit with 2 outs & 2 strikes that went for a triple to drive the winning run from third.

[ndndad]

BC has an excellent team, but I am VERY proud of the way my boys kept their heads up when we were down and never quit. I have a feeling we are gonna see BC next Thursday!!

[TradinUp BH]

It will be between NLL and GNLL

It will be between NLL and GNLL

does this 8 and under tournament go by the the age guidelines in the little league green book? i'm gonna have to catch one of these games to see the little ones pitch from 46' i'm sure it will be a fun game to watch

[ndndad]

Yea, they are at 46'. We played the first half from 43' to let them get used to the distance and then backed them to 46' the secind half. You would be suprised to see how well they do!!

do the ages go by what age they are at 04/30/09 like in the regular season? is it only 8 yr olds or are there some 7's too? where do yall play next and when?

[Bobcat101]

Great games Groves. I take nothing away from you. Your kids are all stand up guys. Props to the field guys, they did a great job on the field.

Sorry can't say much about the Umpire behind the plate.

[ndndad]

I agree that he was inconsistent. The plays at the plate were close and I wouldn't have wanted to make those calls!! It was a great game and you guys played very well! Good luck to ya'll tomorrow night!

[diannewalker]

I was there and have to agree that both Groves and BC have very talented players. The game was a good one. However, I do believe that blue made some horrible calls behind the plate that affected the outcome of the game. It is a shame when you have talented players that are held back by (what seemed to be) inexperienced umpires and some pretty terrible coaching by BC's coaches.

nll-6  gll-3 final.

[iwonsee]

AS far as the LUMBERTON tourney West End is the only undefeated team left. Silsbee beat Lumberton tonight to knock the host team out. Jasper lost to W.E. and now plays Silsbee on Monday with the winner playing West End on Tuesday. There has been some good ball players on  the field this week. Good luck to the 3 teams left.

[Bobcat101]

Great Game NLL  Good Luck Thursday.

Silsbee lost to Jasper. Had a 4-1 lead and lost 6-4. I heard that Jasper had to forfit the game with West End Tuesday b/c of an illegal pitcher. Any body know if this is true.

[sox61fan]

Not true.  Game was never protested and West End won the game.  Won tourn.  Congrats boys everyone did a great job.

[Guest yankee fan]

GOOD LUCK GNLL 8 YR. OLD ALL- STARS!!!!!!!!!

[iwonsee]

To answer your question. yes and NO. Jasper did use a pitcher that threw to many pitches.  When the W. E. coach was asked if he wanted to protest the game he chose  not to. He stated that he wanted his boys to win or lose on the field. Hats off to him. Congrats W. E. for winning the tourney and to jasper for being the runner-up.
