The Rattlers lose their first game 12 - 3 to the 643 DP Jaguars out of Georgia. The kids were in 96+ heat with extremely high humidity. The Georgia team was used to that weather and they were much more ready to play out of the gate. If this game would have been played at Steed. The results would have been much different...

The second game was against the Tampa Bay Bulls and we were winning 13 - 9 when a torrential downpour along with thunder and lightning came down in the top of the 6th and stopped our game. Unfortunately AAU made a terrible decision for our team and said we'd have to revert to the previous inning were we were losing 8 - 9 and we'd have to lose the game. All other teams that were delayed that day because of the rain were allowed to come back the next morning to finish their games because they were only in the 2nd and 3rd innings. The umpires were 1.5 hours late to arrive at our game so unfortuntely we were the only team in that time slot that didn't finish.
