Back Home and Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I got back from Minneapolis late yesterday.  It was good to be back.

Evan had two baseball games starting at 12:30.  I slept in.  The boys got up and played in the Wii for a while.

Rachel and Noah came out for both games today.  Evan was really happy to have Noah there for both games.  In the first game, Evan played second base the whole game.  He walked in his first at-bat and had a solid groundout in his second at-bat.  The Bucs won fairly easily.

The second game was different.  Evan started in center field in the first inning and played second in the second inning.  He singled in his first at bat.  In his second at-bat, he had probably the best hit he had in a while but the shortstop made an amazing play to get Evan out.  Going into the bottom of the 3rd inning, the Bucs were losing 6-4.  Evan came in to pitch.  It took him 5 pitches to get out of the inning.  He looked great.  The Bucs tied it in the top of the 4th.  In the bottom of the 4th, Evan again was pitching well.  The shortstop and second baseman each made errors that led to one run scoring but Evan got out of it with just the single run.  Going in to the top of the 5th, the Bucs were down 7-6.  We got two runs to take the lead and loaded the bases for Evan at the plate.  Evan got a single scoring 2 to break it open.  He came back out to pitch the bottom of the 5th to hold on to the win.  Again he only need 5 pitches to end the inning.  He looked great.  Evan was walking on clouds after the game.

For dinner we had left over Rudy's from our dinner last night.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...
