My Trip to New York

Authors Note: This was my trip to  New York. Defiantly my hardest worked on paper



It was a foggy five o’clock day. We went to go pick up my friend  Jack Doubek and his mom to take him to our baseball tournament in New York. For the most part until we got around the surrounding states of New York it was really boring. Then we got to a State and stopped to eat we saw this amazing lake surrounding us. It was breathtaking. Then later that day we passed these huge mountains that looked really tall and steep. I fell asleep a short time after that and when we arrived to Cooperstown All-Star Village I couldn’t even speak. It was so amazing. The fields were all nice and cut and there was a hill that was hug overlooking all the fields. When we got to the bunks everybody was there and excited. The next day it would all start

Our baseball team woke up bright and early at 6:30 to warm-up at the batting cages before our first game. After that we headed down to the fields we were playing on that day. The team wasn’t there yet so we started throwing. After that the game started the good thing was we won that game. The bad thing was it was only pool play so we ended up in the 17 seed out of 23. The first team we played was this really hard team that we took to the 8^th inning and ended up winning 10-9. It was amazing we were still in it.  Our team was so tired after that because it was a 3 hour game. Can you imagine. Then right after we got to eat some lunch. After a good lunch we went a played an all girl team.(olala)We ended up beating them so we still had to play again. Our team was worn out. So like good coaches they brought us oranges and dinks yum. Our team had two games more to play if we wanted to get into the Championship with the stuck up team the Lumberjacks. The next game we played we crushed the 2 seed team. That was amazing for us. I don’t know why but we had to play one more game. It was horrible we lost soooo badly. If we weren’t soo tired maybe just maybe we could have had that game.

So like most of the other teams we were all out except the Lumberjacks and the Victory Black were playing in the championship. Even though nobody like the Lumberjacks they all knew they were going to win no doubt. It was like they were on steroids. So for a matter of fact they won. Later that night we had some closing ceremonies . They announced each one of our names and I got a ring like a hall of fame ring so cool. After that we said our goodbyes and left for home the trip home seemed much much shorter which I was glad I was tired and need some sleep.
