Final baseball games!

First game at 6pm on Tuesday May 31 against the Braves. They beat us once and we did the same. It was very hot and both coach pitchers had trouble and we were on a different field.

Justin struck out twice and hit twice and made plays at first. We won 2-4.

Championship game against the Red Sox.

Justin has been the first hitter for the team the last few games!

First hit of the game! He got 3 hits in all.

We scored 5 runs again in the 1st and 2nd inning!

 

So we lead 12-11 in the bottom of the 5th.

We got the first 2 outs with plays to first base.

Then they got a hit. Next player hit grounder to our pitcher who didn't throw the best to Justin so he missed the ball.

Their players are now at 3rd and 2nd. They get a good hit to bring those two in to win the game.

Overall for us to lose by one run was a great success! The Red Sox won every game by at least 5 runs or more.

We are the only team to beat them in the last two years, which happened last week!!!  And we didn't even win a game last year!

Videos of hits and plays at first!

Getting metals for 2nd place for the season and for the tournament.

Silly pic!

With Coach Chris and his son Davis

We found out about a week ago that he made the All-Star team but told him tonight after the game.

He's excited about meeting new people, practicing  and learning more!

Hallie's graduates 5th grade!

They had a 5th grade reception today at the school! 

Hallie and Leah

I asked them if they wanted to do a silly face!

Leah, Violet, Hallie, and Violet's little brother.

Her homeroom teacher Ms. Norton, who taught kindergarten years ago but wasn't Hallie's teacher. But she's gotten to see these kids grow up!  She was the science/social studies teacher.  Ms. Gibson was the math teacher, and Ms. Irvin the reading teacher.

They did the awards ceremony on Zoom on May 26th.

A baseball victory!

On May 25th, we played the undefeated Red Sox team for the second time.

We won 15 to 11! 

Game had good hits and errors on both sides.

Justin had 3 hits!

We scored 5 runs on them in the 1st and 2nd innings which has probably never happened to them.

In the bottom of the 5th, their hitter hit down the first-base side, Justin got it, and tagged the base for out 1. The next two hits went to our pitcher who threw great  to Justin and got the final two outs! It was awesome! I screamed more than I should have!

We were so nervous that we didn't take any pics or videos during the game but got pics afterwards!

This is what I put on facebook:

Thanks to our coaches, this team improved in their skills while learning more about teamwork, encouragement, and shaking off mistakes! And had victory over the undefeated team last night!

Mothers day weekend and more baseball!

We spent Mother's Day weekend at Linda and Gary's to help take care of Charlotte and Sydney since Lee and Dr had to do flowers.

 The kids were a great help taking care of the little ones!

Justin helped Papa with the deck!

Hallie did  this for me at school. She's very accurate!

Justin doing more baseball!

Party and 1st baseball gamee!

We had a birthday celebration for me and Lee on Sunday April 24th at Lee and Der's house.

The kids enjoyed a water fight and we had a beautiful afternoon!

 

Justin had his first baseball game on April 27th.

The team is already playing better than they did last year at least with outfielding.

Even though they lost, Justin played four out of five innings at first base and got at least 7 outs- 4 being thrown him and two being grounders  he scooped up and tagged the bag. 

We were thrilled that he caught the ball and had his foot on first base at the same time!

He got one hit tonight and the only RBI /run in.

Going to Crawdads games and watching baseball on TV has a really helped!

Easter and Skateland

Good Friday was spent with Arlo, Nolan, and Ellie going to parks and Pelicans snowballs.

Saturday morning we went to Fairview church to do an Easter egg hunt with Miranda. They had an illusionist that did some tricks to represent why we needed Christ.

 

I promised the kids I'd take them to Skateland after tax season. It was Justin's first time going on the big floor and he did great!

The big 8!

For Justin's  birthday,  we went to Jason's Deli since Bob Evans was too crowded and then came back to our house for the afternoon.

He was excited to have his birthday on Palm Sunday!

The crawdads first game was on April 12th!

The kids did this to the poor cat!

They got a kick out of him hanging out in the bag!
