PONY - SHETLAND DIRECTOR'S TOURNAMENT

[texcoug]

The closest thing to 6U baseball in this area -- the PONY Shetland Director's tournament will be played out in Groves starting Saturday.  25 teams from Groves, Orange, Twin County, and Vidor.  Should be a good tournament.  The Vidor teams will be competitive and I have heard that there are some strong teams from Orange and Groves.  Twin County always comes ready but I have not heard anything about their squads. 

Good luck to all the teams.

Hopefully we will stay dry enough to get the games in.

Let me correct my prior post -- closest thing to 6U unless you are part of the Roughrider program (I have a feeling they are playing at that age too!)

Orange A's won going away against the Groves Rangers and the Vidor Angels won a close one over the Orange Cardinals before the rain stopped play.  Tournament picks up tomorrow.  Vidor Red Sox vs. Twin County Rattlers and Orange Indians will play the Vidor Royals in the early games (I believe that they are starting around 10 AM).

How about some Update?

Orange and Vidor are making a lot of noise, but the Groves Dodgers may be the loudest.  The only Vidor team to be eliminated thus far was against the Groves Dodgers.  They bye and play the winner of the Vidor Dodgers and the Orange Braves.  The Orange A's have won 2 and are waiting on the winner of the Vidor Royals and Vidor Pirates -- two evenly matched teams.  The A's are the top team from Orange and are solid throughout. 

The Orange Rangers crushed the top Twin County team -- the Scrappers and are set to play the Vidor Cubs one Tuesday.  The Rangers have some big sticks and the Cubs are tough defensively -- it will be a good game. 

The Vidor Tigers play the Orange Nationals and the winner of that game will play the winner of the Vidor Angels and Red Sox, who both advanced from Day 1.  Monday will have some good games, but I expect the Vidor Dodgers to win easily as well as the Vidor Tigers.  The other two games pair all Vidor teams.  Both games are too close to call. 

Tuesday will be the interesting day with Orange's top team playing either Vidor 4 or 5 placed team.  Then Groves Dodgers will most likely face the Vidor Dodgers -- a very stout team that sits in 3rd place.

Vidor Red Sox beat the Vidor Angels.  Vidor Tigers beat the Orange Nationals.  The Tigers and Red Sox will play in one quarterfinal.

The Vidor Royals defeated the Vidor Pirates.  The Royals will play the Orange A's tonight. 

The Vidor Dodgers defeated the Orange Braves.  The Vidor Dodgers will play the Groves Dodgers tonight. 

The Cubs (Vidor) and Rangers (Orange) also play tonight to complete the quarters. 

The winner of the A's-Royals will play the winner of the Dodgers-Dodgers tomorrow night.  The winner of the Tigers-Red Sox will play the winner of the Cubs-Rangers in the other semi.

The finals are set -- the Vidor Dodgers will play the Vidor Tigers tonight for the championship.  Congrats to both teams.  The Cubs lost their first game of the year in a close one to the Tigers.  The Dodgers looked great beaten the previously unbeaten A's from Orange.  Good job to all the boys.  Good luck to both teams tonight -- should be a very good game.
