Second Day of Tournament, Noah's First Coach Pitch Game

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan's day was supposed to start with a 9am game.  We had some big rain storms come through yesterday so his game was delayed until 11am.  Since Taylor is more than an hour away, it was good to get the extra time.

Evan played well again.  He was catcher in the first inning and really kept the ball in front of him.  In batting, he was 1-2.  His hit came on a pitch that literally hit the dirt first and Evan hit it as it bounced back up.  It was a complete golf swing, but he hit it well into the hole between short and third knocking in a run.  He moved to second on a passed ball and scored on a single.  Unfortunately the team lost and were eliminated.  Aunt Susan came to watch Evan play which was very nice.

After the game, we went to see Evan's friend Ben play in a 10U tournament game at the same complex.  It was good to see Ben's family.

Evan and I drove home and were home for just a bit before we had to take Noah to his first kid pitch game.  Noah came up in the bottom of the first.  I really didn't know what to expect.  He swung at the first pitch and hit it between shortstop and third.  In the top of the second, he played second.  He fielded a ball hit to him and stepped on second for a force out.  He struck out his next time at bat and then lined out to shortstop in his third at bat.  But it was a very successful outing for his first time.

We came home and had dinner and now the boys are in their rooms.

Until next time..
