Well, our all-star season has finally come to a close. It lasted a lot longer than it normally does. Conner's 10 year-old team ended up winning 3 of 5 games and did a wonderful job! Eventually, they just ran out of pitching for that last game. They ended up making it to the final 8 teams and both teams that they lost to made it to the final three and one is still playing. 
Here is the first game at Concord American. It was nice for the boys to play on their own field, but they ended up getting killed!
#10 Conner Burr ... all around player!
He loved getting to play catcher again! He hadn't played catcher at all this season. He mostly played 2nd base. During the post season he played catcher, 2nd base, short-stop and 3rd base.
On base!
Game 2 was at Concord American and they beat Antioch 22-8!
Conner only played part of game 1, but then his coach let him play all of games 2-5. Only 5 boys get to play the whole game and he was lucky enough to be one of them. It was great seeing his confidence increase as the games progressed.
Game 3 was at Continental and they played Pittsburg and won 4-0. What a great game that was. They kept getting out of jams and didn't let the other team score. Conner threw a guy out from catcher at 2nd base. He did that several times during the all-stars and he was really excited about it!
Game 4 was at Continental again and they played Martinez. Another exciting game. At the end of the night it was tied 10-10 and our boys just kept battling back. They would get behind and then battle back to tie. The game got called due to darkness and they were scheduled to finish their tie on Wednesday in East County (Oakley).
Game 4 was finished in Oakley on Wednesday. The other team scored one run and the pressure was on our boys to score as well. Conner walked and got on base. He made it all the way to 3rd base when Josh hit the ball and Conner got to score the winning run! He was pretty excited.

We were so proud of Conner and his team. They showed a lot of heart and won more games than anyone thought was possible!
