Arizona Baseball Tournament

Joe's competitive baseball team went to Arizona 2 weeks ago to complete in a huge tournament. It was a great trip. The boys got to play on replica major league fields and got to play with boys who play year round. It was quite an awesome experience. The boys ended up taking 5th place in their bracket which is pretty darn good considering the talented teams we were able to compete against.
