Saturday - Championship Game

Tough thing to have to write.  Buccos lost the championship game to the Red Sox 7 to 5.  Pirates win the coin flip and are the home team.

2nd - Pirates score 2, lead 2 - 0
3rd - Red Sox score 2, tied 2 - 2
4th - Red Sox score 1, lead 2 - 3
5th - Red Sox score 1, lead 2 - 4
7th - Pirates score 2, tied 4 - 4
8th - Red Sox score 3, lead 4 - 7
8th- Pirates score 1, final 5 - 7

This is only a teaser.  What unfolded on Saturday night was a truly classic ballgame. We provided an excellent game for the other campers to watch, which they greatly appreciated.  I will edit this post once I return home.

I will say - this was a very tough loss to take.  I don't believe in moral victories, I'm not an "everyone gets a trophy believer", and the sting from a loss like this is exactly how life sometimes is.  The lesson to take away, we didn't play hard enough.  We didn't make some plays we should have and the result is the Red Sox won for the third year in a row.  So the Pirates will get back to work with one unfinished goal - bring a FCCS trophy back to Pirate City.

It was an unbelievable experience, one which I never will forget.  Let's Go Bucs!

Now if the Major League team can get into the playoffs and make some noise.  Attending this tourney sure got the 2015 MLB season off with a bang.
