Two Games, Two Wins

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The Bucs had their first tournament of the season today.  It's a two-day tournament.  Today was the Pool Play round which sets up seeding for tomorrow.  Evan's first game was at 11am.  We left the house around 9:15 and stopped at Donut Taco Palace on the way and then had warmups.

The Bucs crushed the first team.  At one point the score was 14-1.  Evan played well.  In the first game, he was 1-2 with a walk and two runs scored.  He also had a really nice steal where he got an amazing jump.  He did have a collision with Darius on a ball when he was playing left field.  Evan was coming in for the pop up and Darius, who was playing shortstop, was going out.  At the last second, Evan saw Darius and slid and Darius went over top of Evan and kicked Evan in the face.  Evan has a pretty swollen lip now but he was ok and it didn't slow him down at all.

Evan caught in the second game.  Again, he did well batting.  He was 1-1 with a single and a walk.  The game was a bit closer but the Bucs won again.  The coach singled out Evan for his hustle and heads up play in both games.

Evan and I came home and found that Rachel and Noah were at Costco.  Rachel called and said they had bumped into Aaron and Mandy and invited them over to the house.  Jeremy was very excited to play with "tiny Legos" which are really normal Legos, but he's used to Duplos.  The boys had fun with Jeremy and Nathan.

For dinner, we picked up Yaghi's for Evan and me.  Noah had a hot dog and Rachel had a salad.

The boys are going upstairs to bed shortly.

Until next time...
