Baseball, baseball & more baseball!!


Wow! We've been so busy with baseball this week!

We had games at 8:00pm in Bowie (which is an hour away) on Thursday night and Friday night. Saturday we had a game there at noon and 4, but the one at 4 got rained out. We sat in the car until 5 and finally just left. We were supposed to play at 8am this morning, got there & it was raining, and the tournament got cancelled. So we got up at 5:30 and drove 2 hours for nothing! Not a big deal since diesel is so cheap right now! ha ha

The boys have done great! We won our 1st game 10-7, won the 2nd one 27-12, then Saturday lost to our old nemesis the Burke Blaze 21-18. It was such a heartbreaker!! That's the 4th time they've beat us and we get closer every time. We were ahead most of the game. They have won 6 tournaments this summer and have yet to be beat.

Jake cracked his bat somehow and has been using a big barrel bat the past 2 games. He went 3 for 3 against the Blaze and scored runs all three times! They are such a good group of boys and we're having so much fun with them.

Here's a picture of half of the team in my car watching a movie while we were waiting to see if we'd play our game Saturday afternoon.

Here's a video of a couple of Jake's hits:

Pics from this morning :(

The boys look great! What I'd give
to be back in the Little League Days! There is nothing like them.
Wish we were closer to enjoy them with you. Love to all. Pat

Brings back the memories! It's fun before it gets too serious. Hunter and Riley look like twins. Hope you have a Houston tournament so we will get to see you.
