Game Ball

Andrew's Little League team had their second game today, and won this one by an indentical score as the first one - 17-12. Andrew has had an amazing hitting streak. In 7 at bats in 2 games he has 6 doubles and a single. Today he had 3 of those doubles, scoring 5 RBI's. He also accounted for, or assisted in, at least a half-dozen outs, if not more. The highlight was in the 4th inning, when with one out, Andrew caught a line-drive at first, and then stepped on the bag to get the runner who was on first out before he could tag up, thereby getting an unassisted double-play.

After each game the coach gives the game ball. Before the coach could even begin the several of the teammates began saying that Andrew should have the ball - and the coach agreed. Nice to be honored not only by the coach but by teammates as well.

What a fun way to spend a Saturday Morning - watching your son play baseball...and with some proficiency! Yes, I am really excited and proud of him!
