"Play Ball!"

Well on April 3rd & 4th we kicked off our baseball season officially with 7 ballgames! Chase and Garrett both played in the Tune-Up Tournament at Cooper Sports Complex in Springfield.

Garrett's kicked the weekend off with two games on Friday night and his team WON both games! Then on Saturday he played two more games and they won one and lost one. They finished the tournament in 2nd place!! Garrett is the catcher on his team as you can see. He made a play at home plate and got the runner out and then in the same game he made a throw to second base and got a runner out. You could see him smiling from ear to ear even underneath his catcher's mask. He really does and amazing job.

Chase played all of his games on Saturday and his team did a really good job. Chase played mainly at 3rd base but he also played some short stop and pitched a couple of innings. They finished the tournament 1 and 2 and if we could play two of the games over again I really think we would have won. We will just chalk our errors up to beginning jitters. Chase did a great job in the field and at bat. Including a really amazing play at 3rd base where he quite literally made a rolling dive to catch the ball.

Even Ethan joined in on the fun. Could this be a glimpse into his future? Hang in there Ethan your team will start playing soon.

All in all it looks like we have a great baseball season ahead of us and I can't wait!
