A grand slam

John Barzilla and Tressa Roque

When Tressa Roque and John Barzilla (pictured) got engaged to be re-married, they set a date for late July in the Florida Keys. The hustle and bustle of life kept getting in the way, including Tressa’s father spending time in the hospital and their son, Anthony, advancing in baseball season. Post Oak Little League made it to the state finals, and parents Tressa and John cheered on the team during the championship game in Tyler. Some parents turned to them and said, confused, “Aren’t you supposed to be getting married?” The answer was yes and after a quick “team huddle,” they decided to celebrate at the championship game in a special way: with their wedding. Post Oak Little League coach Chris Spears, who’s actually an ordained minister, agreed to officiate right then and there. Tressa’s maid of honor was Sarah Crawmer. Everyone wore Post Oak Little League spirit shirts, shorts and flip flops. Their son Anthony, who’s a fifth grader at St. Michael’s Catholic School, was thrilled.
