For Pete's Sake tournament

Yesterday was the annual tournament honoring long time MBC member Pete, proceeds from the tournament were donated to the MBC to pay off some building debt.  It was an awesome tournament and overall a fun day.  Several businesses donated items or cash and Whiffleboys donated pizza for lunch.
I hadn't slept well and was not at my best all day, at least that's the excuse I'll use for not playing well.  There were 14 teams so once again we had uneven pools.  Two pools had four in them and two had three.  This time instead of only playing two games the pools with three played each other two times with the top two in each pool advancing.
In the first game we played Pete's Nuts or something like that.  In essence it was mainly Bertha's Ball Handlers.  We got out to a big lead at the start then let them back in it before winning 9-7.
In the second game we played Money Balls, I think the team was made up of mostly Herrin players.  Once again we got out to a lead only to let them back in before winning 9-6.
We once again played Pete's Nuts but this time they jumped out to a 4-0 lead.  We got a four point frame to tie it but that was all she wrote and we lost 9-4.
We played our last game against Money Balls needing a win to win the pool.  Win we did 9-2 and advancing.
In the first round of the playoff we faced Mission: Imbocceball.  It was a hard fought game where we had numerous chances and didn't take advantage.  With us leading 8-7 they made a nice shot but we had two balls left.  I thought my first throw was in but it rolled out just a hair.  As was the case most of the day my second shot was not close and with their last throw they put it on the pallino ending our day.
