4th of July in Palm Beach - State Baseball Tournament

Well, as many of you know Jackson's All Star Team qualified for the rookie state tournament this weekend...so the Morris' packed up and headed south to Palm Beach Gardens on Thursday, July 2nd. The host hotel is the Hilton Garden Inn - nice accommodations! Very family friendly with mini fridges & microwaves...a pool and walking path around the lake. Our first game was Friday (July 3rd) morning at 9:30am against the Juniper Creek Bearcats (from the Jacksonville area). The game started out slow...couple of innings with no hits or ground outs...Jackson actually hit a couple of singles but was never able to advance past 3rd. The momentum was not in our favor when the Bearcats scored several runs in the bottom of the 3rd. Our boys made several errors and were never able to recover... we lost 8-0... Game #2 is today at 3:30pm.
