Late Baseball Games

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan's baseball games were later today so that let us all sleep in.

When we all got up, Evan, Rachel and I took a long walk.   Noah didn't want to come and stayed home.

We had leftovers for lunch.

Rachel was supposed to tutor after lunch but her tutoring got canceled.

The boys and I watched the Texas-OU football game.  Just as the game was ending, Evan's friend and teammate, Reid, came over.  His parents had asked if we could bring him to the game.

Evan's first game went well.  Evan struck out in his first at-bat but doubled and knocked in a run in his second at bat.  He made a nice play when playing second base and also played well in left field.  His team tied when the coaches of the other team bullied the umpires into calling a balk.  Had that run not scored to tie the game, Evan's team would have won.

Grandma, Papa, Aunt Susan, Noah and Rachel went to Fish City Grill for dinner and then came to the game.  They were able to see the first game and all of the second.

In the second game, Evan pitched.  He got out of one inning when he came in with two outs and runners on.  The first pitch was a strike, the second pitch was a easy pop up to short.  In the next inning, he struck out a batter and ran into some bad luck.  He got a pop up to center that the center fielder just dropped.  He also fielded a ball hit back to him and threw over to first and the first baseman dropped it.  He ended up giving up two runs but both were unearned.  He should have gotten out of the inning easily.  Nevertheless, he had a pretty good game.  He grounded out in his first at bat and absolutely crushed the ball in his second at bat but the centerfielder made a nice play to catch it.

It was good having everyone there to watch Evan.

We are home now and the boys are ready for bed.

Until next time...
