One Season Over

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was cold this morning - at least for Austin.  It was about 50 degrees.  So we decided to drive to school.

Rachel took Lizzy for a walk in the morning and then went to Target and HEB.

Rachel tutored so I walked to pick Noah up.  Evan was going home with Wade today.

Noah had his playoff game today.  He and I left early to get to the fields.  The day turned out very nice.  It was in the low 70s with no humidity and not a cloud in the sky.  It was a very tough game.  Each team got 5 runs in the first inning and did not record an out.  In the top of the second, the first ball of the inning got hit to Noah playing pitcher.  He fielded it cleanly and made a great throw over to first and the first baseman caught it for an out.  In the bottom of the 2nd, we scored 4 runs and then we one of our players hit into an out as we scored the fifth run.  So after two the score was tied.  We got another out on the opposing team in the top of the third and then scored 5 runs in the bottom of the third without an out.  In the fourth (and final inning), we didn't get any outs on them.  We came into the bottom of the fourth.  If we scored all five runs without getting an out we would win.  If we ran into one out, the entire game would come down to a coin flip.  Our first batter got on. The second batter hit to the shortstop and the runner from first was forced at second.  That was one out.  At that point I just wanted to get the five runs and give us a chance for a coin flip.  We got 4 runs and had runners on 2nd and 3rd.  The batter hit the ball to shortstop who booted it around a bit but managed to get over and tag the base before our runner could get there.  So the game was over.  Our boys played well and they had fun.  So that was good.

Afterwards, Noah and I walked over to another field were Evan was having practice.  Noah went to the concession stand and bought a hot dog to eat.

We came home and the boys went to bed.

Until next time...
