Southeast Regionals Game 1: WR 10U Blue 14, Mt. Pleasant (SC) 4

If you needed to know how many miles we are from Henry County, Tennessee, here's your answer. Cool sign here at RF&P Park (my new favorite park because it features fast wi-fi for blogging purposes) in Glen Allen: 

With that backdrop, 10U Blue took a 14-4 win over Mt. Pleasant (SC) in four innings in the Southeast Regional opener. Two-out runs were key, as West Raleigh's first four runs were scored with two outs, and nine of the 14 overall crossed with two.

That was more than enough offense to back up Andrew and Joe on the mound, as Mt. Pleasant didn't manage a hit until the final inning.

The next game is scheduled to begin at 5:30 against Glen Allen (Va.). A full (and updated--did I mention the wi-fi?) bracket is available here.

Game 1 Web Gems

• Joe, Gavin and Chace teamed up on a sweet 1-6-3 double play in the third. The only slight problem was that the umpires only gave West Raleigh credit for one out. But trust me, it was a double play.
• Banks came in charging hard in right field to gather a sinking liner in the fourth.
