I'll be doing the same thing in about a couple of weeks for hitting, but it won't be with Bustos.
4 years ago, my oldest made it to the Little League State round for 11/12 and winner went to Missouri for regionals, my youngest at the time was 9 and made it to the Little League districts for 9/10. That week, I traveled just about everyday from Avon to Portsmouth to either Elyria or Tallmadge and back. Out of the total 10 games they had combined, I missed one. Typical road trip was about 9 hours and 500 miles. When I spent the nights at my sisters in Nelsonville, it added another near two hours and 40 miles. Oldest ended up runner-up in the state.
Now youngest plays for a team two hours away, and it's been fantastic. Oldest is now going to play for local select team.
