After the heartbreak and plenty of tears were shed, on our bus trip back from Herscher last night the group of seniors decided they wanted to hang out one last time at our field. They ordered some pizzas and we all played 9 holes of fungo golf together. This group was special!

Just a real well played baseball game all around by both teams! Unfortunately, we came up short against a really good U-High team. Took the lead in the 3rd but U-High battled back to take the lead in the bottom of the 4th. We loaded the bases in the 7th to give us a shot.
