After spending a few days in Charleston, the crew packed up and headed back to Myrtle Beach for another round of tournaments! We were excited to get back to the Ripken facilities and hang out a few days with the new teams that were there.
The opening ceremonies were packed full of excited parents and kids eager to check out all the cool booths. Shock Doctor batting game was flocked with players excited to try their luck at winning a Shock Doctor hat! We had two players from the B.O.S.S. Baseball Academy get three homeruns in a row. They walked away with hats as well as all the eye black they would need for the rest of their games. Parents were interested in the assortment of sliding shorts and mouth guards they had to offer as well.
All the teams were excited to hear that they could use the new Slugger bats in their games for free! We got great feedback about the new 2010 Triton bat. He said it had a lot of pop to it, and he hit a homerun with it! The crew loves to hear positive things from the players about the new bats!
Crew member Amanda was able to help out the Ripken crew in an exciting way. She got to sing the National Anthem for the opening ceremonies. She totally rocked it and got a huge round of applause from the players and their families! We were so proud! The Ocean Breeze/Ripken tournaments were a lot of fun for everyone. Next stop: Triple Crown Tournament just down the road!
