Baseball Saturday!

Josh and Nate played at the same time today so we had to divide the troops! Somehow the division was not too equal. Him took Nate to his game & I ended up taking Ethan and Zach to Josh's game! Part of the was because there was a play structure at the park where Josh's game was at. I watched a few innings, then we played on the play structure, then we watched a few innings again...but watching baseball with Ethan & Zach (mostly Ethan) is a lot of work!

Josh had a GREAT game. He hit 2 doubles...his first doubles ever. They were both solid hits into the outfield! He also made an out...which is a rare event in his league. The rule is that each team bats until 3 outs or 5 runs....usually the teams stop at 5 runs with no outs being made.

Jim said that Nate's team had an AWESOME game. They played a really tough team & down after a few innings. They rallied late in the game to come back. Everyone on the team contributed! Jim said it was really neat to watch...the team is really coming together & doing well. They only have 1 loss and 1 tie, so they are pretty high up in the standings. Nate pitched again & was very proud that he pitched more strikes than balls. The coach only had to come in to pitch once. In his league, the players can not be walked. If the pitcher throws 4 balls then the coach of the batter comes into pitch to the batter.

Here are some baseball pictures:
