Baseball kinda day...

We had a game at 9am this morning. Our team doesn't do well with these 9am games. We actually played the worst game all season. We all came to the realization that this was going to be our first loss of the season after the 3rd inning when we were down 7 - 1.
Then it happened.
They woke up.
We WON!
18 - 16
This is Tyler attempting to catch a line drive hit right to him. It happened so fast that he literally had just enough time to put his glove up. It hit his glove so hard it popped right back out. His effort was intense though!

These two crack me up. They really are great for each other because they have real camaraderie between them. They are pumping each other up here because if we held them to 3 up 3 down we would only need to get 4 runs to tie. It was so funny to watch. I wish I had taped it because they were really serious.
Then Tyler and his buddy got a call. To play "up". The next level of baseball up. He was nervous because it is a kid pitch league and he has only hit off of coaches. It was intimidating but he held his own like always. He got up there 3 times and got on base once with a walk. Just knowing to wait for his pitch was great. I know I am not ready for him to be in this level of baseball yet. Good thing we have another year before we have to be!
