Xtreme Baseball attended Week 7 of tournaments at Cooperstown Dreams Park with 2 teams (26 players between the Hackers and Thunder teams), 4 coaches, 1 manager and 26 families. The players stayed in the barracks onsite in an adjoining bunk house from Saturday 7/16/16 and had a blast together. After the Cooperstown Dreams Park opening ceremony on Saturday afternoon, there were skills competitions where our Xtreme players performed well (Braden F for home runs King of Swat competition and Danny P for the Golden Arm competition - see results). The teams each had two games on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and played xtreme-ly well (see regular game standings here) with some games played at night. In addition to playing baseball, the teams visited the Baseball Hall of Fame and had team dinners (pizza, BBQ) together and a super fun team party (mini golf, laser tag, s'mores) on Tuesday 7/19/16 night. The teams entered the single-elimination tournament on Wednesday 7/20/16 and played their hearts out ending their week with a 5-2 record (Thunder) and a 7-1 record (Hackers). After the week ended, one of the coaches reflected that "...to remember what that feeling in Cooperstown was like. To be down and comeback. To respect the game and always play hard. To have fun alongside your teammates." The week in Cooperstown was magical and memorable for players, coaches and families. Go Xtreme!
