Cooperstown 12 & Under Invitational Tournament Grand Slam

July 20, 2023 22:50

My 12 year old grandson, Max, hit a grand slam home run in a tournament game earlier this week at Cooperstown Hall of Fame Invitational Tournament. They went on to win 9 to 6.

They had a heartbreaker the next evening. A team from California was 22 and 0 on the season and Max's team, The Base Knox Royals from Knoxville Tennessee, had them down 6 to 0 in the fourth inning and the California team came back to win.

Oh well just getting there and winning a game against one of the top 68 teams from across the nation was a pretty good experience for the boys.

Max had a grand slam homer earlier in the regular season also.

I think his dad and Grandpa are grinning more than he is. 😁
He's just a good kid that we're all proud of whether he played sports or not.

My 8 year old grandson plays little league and travel ball so I have spent many hours at the ballpark.Some of the best baseball are the 12 year olds they dont have to worry about jobs,girl freinds,cars,nothing but baseball. Congrats to your grandson.A grand slam in that age group is a very big deal.
