Let's Play Two

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan's baseball team, the Marauders, were in a tournament this weekend.  Saturday is a two-game seeding.  Basically, based on your record after playing two games on Saturday, you're seeded for a single-elimination tournament on Sunday.  We got up early this morning as we needed to be out in Dripping Springs by 9:30am.  We stopped at Donut Taco Palace I on the way out there.

Evan played very well in the first game.  He played most of the game at third base but did play a handful of innings at catcher.  He played both positions very well.  In the first inning he was involved in a number of plays and threw someone out at first.  At catcher, he really shone.  He was very aggressive and was involved in making sure kids didn't score at least two different times.  In the third inning, he crushed a ball for a two-out bases-clearing double.  It was really a key hit in the game that played a crucial role.  We won that game by 3 runs.

In the second game, the kids stopped hitting very well.  Evan got two hits but several of the other kids didn't hit well.  Evan played even more catcher.  When he was at third base, he was involved in a run-down. Unfortunately, the team didn't win.

We're now a fifth seed out of 8.  We're playing the fourth seed at 9am Sunday.

On the way home, we stopped and got Icees at a gas station since I needed gas.  While we were there, I saw they were selling the original Batman movie and original X-Men movie for $5 each on DVD.  The boys have been asking to see them.  So I bought them.  We watched them this afternoon.  I think the kids liked watching both movies. I particularly enjoyed the old Batman.

For dinner, I picked up Torchy's for Rachel and me while Rachel made dinner for the boys.

The boys are now in bed.  Evan needs to get sleep for his game(s) tomorrow.

Until next time...
