MCH Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Well....sort of...LOL. My son made the 7 & 8 year old Machine Pitch All Star team. We just got back from the Texas State tournament where we placed 4th. Which isn't bad considering there was 12 teams at the State tournament and over 50 including district tournament teams. Anyway, the top 4 teams are invited to the World Series in Missisippi. Bad news is that we have a few players that can't make it so we're having to turn down the opportunity. But its a major accomplishment nonetheless. Proud of our boys. Also, our team was voted the Sportsmanship award as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Machine pitch is where they put a Jugs pitching machine 42 yards away from home plate and set it on 40 mph and give the kids 5 pitches or 3 strikes to put the ball in play.

Wow 42 yards? Thats right out there next to 2nd base. Pitchers mound in high school is only 60 feet 6 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Congratulations to those boys! That is quite an accomplishment beating out 62 teams to end up fourth. Real sorry they can't get to experience the trip to MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
