The Canes made it a successful trip to Chesapeake with a 13-2 win over the Tidewater Outlaws in Sunday's championship game. The title victory was another all-around solid performance, with great contributions from the offense, defense and pitching. Side note: I swear I am not making this up. The head coach of the Outlaws is Jesse James.
Nations hosted an elaborate postgame awards ceremony that was run by Tournament Director Coach Sean and Site Director Coach Kevin II.
Players celebrated with their very favorite activity of posing for a team photo:
There are two practices this week before packing up and heading for Florida.

Dugout wisdom
There is a new rule: when someone says something allegedly funny and then looks at me and says, "That's dugout wisdom right there," it does NOT go in the dugout wisdom section.
Also, I unfortunately did not get a transcript of the postgame conversation between Coach Kevin II and the home plate umpire, but it was very insightful, as you can probably imagine.

Championship Web Gems
- Colin aggressively charged a hopper to second, scooped it off his shoelaces, and fired to first to get the last out of the third.
