Baseball and Basketball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The Marauders were in a tournament today.  Evan also had a basketball tournament.  Unfortunately, based on the distance between the two it did not seem like we'd have enough time to get to the basketball game if he played in the second baseball game.  So we decided Evan would play one baseball game and then go to basketball.

In the first Marauders game, the team did not play very well.  Evan led of the game with a single and later scored.  He caught a pop up playing shortstop.  Later in the game he caught a line drive and tagged second for an unassisted double play.  They have moved Evan to play mostly second and he's been playing really there.  His play seems to have elevated at second.

Rachel, Noah, Zayde took Evan to his basketball game.  He was acting very tired and apparently hungry but he refused food.  The only thing they could convince him to eat was a slushie from Sonic.

I stayed and pitched for the Marauders in the second game.  Unfortunately, it was a bit more of the same in terms of the team not playing well.

I left and got to the basketball game.  They were running really behind so I only missed 5 minutes of the first basketball game.  It was a close game in the first half.  But Evan's team pulled away.  Unfortunately, Evan started to not feel well.  I think he was really hungry.  He didn't play in his last rotation.  Evan's team won and so they were in the championship game.  We were giving Evan food but he was still complaining about not feeling well.  Evan's team was losing and finally with about 5 minutes to go, I told Evan that if he wanted to play at all, now was his time.  He went in and played literally the best 5 minutes of basketball I have ever seen him play.  They did get a trophy after the game.

We came home and Evan ate and was in a very good mood.  He wanted to watch Young Frankenstein so we started watching that before dinner.

For dinner, we went to Johnny Carino's.  Then we took Zayde home.

We're home now and the boys are in their bed.  The Marauders tournament continues tomorrow at 9:30.  Then Evan has a scrimmage for the Nationals at 3:30.

Until next time...
