Take me out to the ball game!

Baseball season continues, and tonight was a great game! It got off to a bit of a slow start (these young pitchers have a hard time hitting the strike zone), but in the last inning the coaches pitched and then things really heated up. Lots of hits, nearly as many overthrows, and many darling little 3rd graders running around the bases as fast as their legs could carry them.

Caleb got up to bat and hit a grounder toward first base. He sprinted---the pitcher threw it to first, make that past first--and Caleb rounded the corner and headed for second. The next batter got a hit that brought Caleb in to make the final run of the game. He did great!

The team worked hard, and even I can see clear improvement in them. The final score was 9-12. Our team had the 9, but it was a hard fought for 9 runs that they can be very proud of. It was certainly worth the ice cream we went out for afterwards.
