Nov. 19, 2012 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	stick, How did OKI do?
Nov. 19, 2012 stick8 1117 posts	Cal50, we ended up 2nd. Did you play?
Nov. 19, 2012 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	No we didn't play. Was wondering how you guys and the KC Barons did.
Nov. 19, 2012 stick8 1117 posts	Not sure how the Barons did in the prelims but I believe they lost out in the bracket saturday night.
Nov. 19, 2012 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	Thanks, I just spoke with one of the Barons players, they didn't do as well as they did in the nationals. Who beat you guys?
Nov. 19, 2012 stick8 1117 posts	1-1 in the prelims beat Fangrabbers, lost to Worth 50's 4-2 in the tourney--beat Texas Players, lost to Worth 50's, beat Texas Players, beat Rated Athletics, beat Worth 50's and lost to Arizona Elite
Nov. 19, 2012 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	Pretty good teams in the tournament.
Nov. 19, 2012 lefty# 9 4 posts	Was not a weak team there I think the only complaint at Desert West was the SUN in your eyes. Field 2 was deadly in early evening I was told .Field 4 SUCKED for leftys on sun morning I know for a fact O K I picther was a Master at putting the ball in the SUN and leaving it there F O R E V E R. bunch of nice guys looking forward to playing them again #9 Texas Players
Nov. 19, 2012 stick8 1117 posts	Lefty9 I played middle for OKI and I feel your pain. We experienced the same thing on dia #2 friday night. It was brutal!! Not much the batter can do when he can't see the ball. It's unfortunate because all your leftys are strong hitters. Hopefully we'll match up again down the road.
Nov. 19, 2012 Malo37 30 posts	The sun was the same for both teams. It didn't effect one tem more than another.....
Nov. 19, 2012 Webbie25 Men's 60 1803 posts	Malo-we played 2 games into that sun-one each day. Yes it was the same for both teams, but if one team was hitting well it worked as an equalizer for the team that was not hitting well. I believe any championship games (especially) in bracket play should take the sun into consideration. This is a hitters game-nobody likes to play when you dread your next at bat.
Nov. 20, 2012 stick8 1117 posts	Malo, it was the same for both teams no question. Texas Players had several lefites on their team and if you were looking at the mound the sun was on the left side of it. A righty could see it just fine.
Nov. 21, 2012 sliplayer Men's 60 70 posts	Sun was very tough and did change the game for both teams. Especially tough when it happens in a Championship situation which it did. SLi Steven Imlay
