The Orinda Rock, an OBA 12U team, braved the deserts of Carson City to play in the All-World Sports Midnight Madness baseball tournament held June 20-22. The tournament begins in the middle of the night as teams wait until 10:45 p.m. on Friday night to get their blind draw game times.
The Rock played games on Saturday at 2:10 a.m., 6:30 a.m., and then in the evening at 5:30 p.m.
After pool play, the Rock found themselves as the No. 2 seed, playing in the semi-final at 4 a.m. on Sunday against the Lake County Blazin Bulls. Orinda prevailed in a back-and-forth thriller. They faced the East Bay Bandits in the championship game but lost.
