LPR Tigers vs. you guessed it.....those Slidell Young Guns! Of course it's the Young Guns! We needed this win to get into the semi finals!




Our boys had just come off of a win! Even though way in the back of their minds, they knew this would be a tough one...their spirits remained high!


You've heard of hope,faith and love.....this time it was hope faith, prayer and baseball! We serve a detailed God right! Why not be specific and ask for a slippery ball for the opposing team and all homeruns for our Tigers! I really doubt that's how the prayer went, but that's what our hope was....us Mom's anyway! In Jesus name Amen!















Tigers had first bat!

Hunter started us out with a nice line drive....they are beautiful line drives might I mention!

Wyatt had a nice shot out to Right Field


Hartland had a beauty of shot! Scored Braden and almost Abedn!

Braden had a nice double too!


I usually don't post the negative....but this was a nice sequence of shots! Maybe if Abedn had stayed inside the base line...he might could have used that split second to beat the ball to the plate! However, I have mixed feelings about that call.....if you look at the picture....the ball isn't even in his glove and I'm sure he tagged Abedn with his glove! And, yes I know that umpire and I have already informed him that he probably cost us the championship! Way to be snapping Susan! Great effort Abedn!


We had 2 outs and Reece was on his game...He was safe at 2nd! But just to relieve a stress....why not play in the dirt a little bit....your only 7 once....right! Way to enjoy yourself Reece!


I wanted to give a shout out to these 2 fellas.

Zachary Shoultz and Luke Purvis did a great job learning to play catcher this year! It's a tough job and they both did excellent!



Defensive Shout Outs

Blake got hit...that's all I wrote down...I'm guessing he got hit with ball...I really don't remember a bird falling from the sky to hit him!!! But, ya boy Reece was there with the back up plan...Way to get it in.....Heck of a wing man play! Nice Job Reece!

Blake wasn't down for long...at the crack of the next bat....he was there with the pop up! Way to catch it Blake!

















Blake to Abedn at 2nd base.... oh so close....but Abedn hung around a little longer....the old Young Gun got off the bag and Abedn was there with the Tag!


Young Gunner had a nice shot out to center field. Hunter got it in to Braden... Way to hold em guys!


Blake was there again with the catch of the pop up! 3 away!

Abedn to Peyton for the out at 2nd!


Peyton to Wyatt for the out at 1st!


Third out....P Man with the Catch of the Pop Up!

Abedn had a diving catch! Way to get there AK!



Abedn wasn't done yet....Very next play....He caught another pop up and threw to Wyatt for the out at first base! Awesome teamwork guys! Can you say Double Play...that's 3!


Here we go again...we needed 3!

Wyatt caught a pop up at first base..

Brant had a heck of a throw into Peyton....just a tad too late.. Great Effort though!


Hartland to Wyatt for the out at 1st!


And then, Peyton to Wyatt for the out at first!


I do know time was running short....we were in a mad dash hurry to finish the inings.

I guess a Young Gun hit a homerun....I usually don't right down the positive highlights for the opposing team...but this pic pretty much tells all!


Final Inning....we had minutes to spare...we need like 3 outs in 2 minutes!

Out #1 Abedn to Peyton for the out at 2nd!

Out #2 Abedn to Peyton for the out at 2nd and then Peyton tried for the double play at first base....Good throws and good catches...just a little late!


And then out of the blue.......ole blue who was wearing a red shirt....well....he called it ..... ball game! Young Guns won once again.


Nothing to hang your head about....Tigers played a heck of a ball game against the Young Guns...we just needed 5 more minutes!

2011 7u 3rd Place World Championship winners!

Your LPR Tigers!


And we end our season with one final prayer! Thank you Lord for keeping us all safe without injury, and we thank you for the friendships and the patience of the coaches. In Jesus name, Geaux Tigers!

LPR Tigers vs. St. James

Defensive Shout Outs!
There's Abedn going for the out at 2nd base and....

Peyton got that out with time to spare...checked up for the Double! Way to be thinking bud!

This next series of events was WOW! Bethel caught the pop up! He didn't stop there! He then threw to Wyatt to catch the runner at first for the double...Then, Wyatt threw to 2nd.... It was close...great effort guys...and thank goodness you caught the ball everytime....would have been a nightmare if not with all of that throwing...just means you're paying attention to the game!
Just pretend this picture matches! Atleast it's the right opposing team in the shot!









Peyton ended our time in the field with his glove in the air! Way to catch the pop up!


2nd Inning Defense...

Out #1...Strike Out at the plate....we'll take them all day long!

Then Reece fielded and tagged the runner for Out #2

And Braden was there for the pop ut for Out #3

Out #1...Strike out at the plate...still taking those!

Braden fielded and beat the runner to the bag....Out #2....way to get there bud!

And Blake took us in to hit with the catch of the popper!

Final time out to the field....

Offensive Shout Outs!

Wyatt had a great hit! Nice Double..scored 2 runs!


Abedn had a nice line drive!


Braden had a nice line drive!


Brant with the homerun! Way to run the bases #7


Reece with the triple! Actually 2 triples during this game! This is the actual shot...and I just love it! He was glad to get to that bag! Can you imagine the smile for a home run! Well, I'm thinking the smile has something to do with the fact that he got to make that incredible slide! Most 7 year olds love that part!


Luke had a nice hit...got Reece home! Way to help the score board Luke!


Hartland hit a nice line drive out to the fence!


Speaking of fence..Ya boy PW...he whacked it over the fence and it went way over the fence! Congratulations Peyton!

When you hit one over the fence...you can actually run those bases with your eyese closed!!!




PaPa came through for Peyton with the big $100. Peyton didn't really believe he could knock it over, but a little bit of encouragement ($$$) goes a long ways!

Final Day of semi finals....we just needed to win one more to get into the finals....Our Tigers were playing some ball! Congratulations Boys! Great Game!

Offensive Shout Outs

Hunter started us out with a double!

Braden had a beauty of a line drive!




And it was about this time that the Eagles over threw a ball, and it went into the dug out. We had 2 runners advancing! Both players got to walk in to that beautiful thing they call home plate! Abedn and Blake! You gotta love that 2 bag advancement rule! Kuddos to the Umpire for stopping the game to get the exact read on the rule! Can I tell you ya boy BJ was not happy!


Love this shot of Brant! Great Pic! I have in my notes that he was doing some aggressive base running, and the pic doesn't match, but we all know he was about to run as soon as he hit that ball!

Hunter hit a double!

and that moved Luke toward home plate! And yes, he was safe! Way to get there Luke!

Peyton finished us off with a hit out to the fence

And Hunter scored!


Sent those Eagles packin to the house! That was a fun one! Tigers stayed alive! On to game #2!
