Play ball!
Caleb had his first baseball game tonight. Last year the coaches pitched, but now that he's a third-grader, the kids do the pitching, resulting in lots of walks. Caleb only ended up at bat once, but he made good use of it by having a good eye and not swinging at balls. He got walked, which eventually resulted in a run in. He plays shortstop, which is ok, but doesn't include enough running. (his words)
They lost their game 4-10. The game was in Port Orford, so he got home late and was exhausted. He's not sure he wants to play baseball anymore, but I think he'll feel differently after a good night's sleep.

The game was good, but the warm-ups were the most amazing. Balls flying (even over the fences), bouncing (even off shins, arms, and a couple heads), and rolling (through legs, out of hands, and into streets). But overall, it did the desired task; warmed up the young men...even if the warming meant chasing an occasional lost ball.
