Things improved markedly in the second half of Saturday's doubleheader. 11U Blue found their offense again, cranking out nine hits on the way to a 16-0 win over GBI All-Stars 12U in a game shortened to three innings by the run rule.

Dugout wisdom
Here's some umpire wisdom, brought to you by the home plate umpire when talking with Coach Kevin. "It's a hot one. When it's so hot like this and I know I'm calling balls and strikes, I don't run the air conditioner on the way to the field because I might faint when I get out of the car."
