Humble Bulldogs Baseball

Round Rock Express Game

The Bulldogs missed out on July 4 fireworks so they planned to drive into Austin after the games to watch the Round Rock Express play.  After the game was a fantastic fireworks display.  Had we known that the boys would play for 7 hours straight, we might have chosen another activity for the evening.  But it turned out to be one of the most fun activites of the week.  The boys had front row seats and they got to be the spectators for once.  They also enjoyed showing off their rings to the local fans.  They didn't get to see the "real" Spike (their Bulldog mascot) but some of the boys did get to spend some time in his dog house.

 

2014 Nations Baseball Mid-South 10U Select World Series Champions

After beginning pool play with 2 losses and going 1-1 in seed play, the Bulldogs started the last day in the losers bracket and had to win the first game to move to the championship.  But it wasn't going to be that easy.  They would have to beat the #1 seed twice. And that's what they did!   They came back in the 6th inning from a 4 point deficit to tie the game.  They went into extra innings and finished the 7th with a victory.  These boys play with so much heart... our motto is "Bulldogs Never Quit!"  They were thrilled to receive their Championship rings and a commemorative bat from the Round Rock Express AAA team. Pretty awesome experience for everyone who was there.

World Series Day 5 - It's On!

The Bulldogs came out ready to play!  They had to win three games to take home the rings and all you could hear in the stands at the end of the day was....  "I believe that We can Win!"  

World Series Day 4 - Happy Fourth of July!

It goes without saying, Fourth of July was going to include a pool party and a barbecue!  After going 1-1 at the ballpark, the boys converged upon Pecan Park campground to celebrate the holiday together.

World Series Day 3 - Bulldogs Go Bowling

With late games, the Bulldogs made sure to find some time for competition off the field.  Though, the boys weren't near as competitive as the dads!  

Of course, a busy morning of bowling can make a Bulldog hungry.  Some of the families went to Centerpoint  Station for lunch before getting ready for the games.

World Series Day 2 - Game Time

The Bulldogs arrived in San Marcos ready for some baseball!  The first day of games were tough as they played two good elite teams.  But that didn't get them down.  They still had smiles at the end of the day!

World Series Day 1 - The Bulldogs Take San Marcos

The Bulldogs arrived in San Marcos ready to play baseball. But first... they participated in skills competitions and pin trading (quite arguably the best part of the World Series).  And thanks to Metro Pins for designing these awesome pins!

After opening ceremonies, they went to Willie's Ice House for a team dinner.  It is always fun to see the look on the staff's faces when an entire baseball team converges upon their restaurant.
