Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan had his second tournament of the season today.  Evan, Reid and I left this morning around 6:50 to get up to Taylor for warmups.  We stopped at Donut Taco Palace on the way.

In the first game, Evan played first base.  He came in to pitch during the third inning with no outs and at least one runner on base.  He was able to get out of the inning, completing it with a strike out.  When he got the strike out, he punched his glove and yelled in excitement.  In the fourth, Evan got up 0-2 on the first batter and threw one low and inside.  It appeared to hit the dirt and go under the feet of the batter.  The batter said it hit the sole of his shoe so they sent him to first base.  Evan was not happy.  He threw over to pick the runner off.  The runner was safe.  So the first baseman threw back to Evan who appeared to catch the ball - except the first baseman didn't throw over to Evan.  He still had the ball and tagged the runner when he stepped off the base.  Apparently, Evan and the first baseman had talked about doing that play in the dugout.  He got out of that inning and we won the game.

In the second game, batted in the second inning.  He led off the inning, singled, stole two bases and came around to score on a hit.  We didn't have a hit or a run up to that point and it kicked off a 4-run inning.  Evan ended the game with two more hits.  All in all his final batting line - 4 for 5 (.800) with 2 RBI, 2 Runs, and four stolen bases.  He looked terrific all day.

Rachel, Noah, Grandma and Papa were able to come to the second game to watch Evan.  Noah ended up riding home with me.  We stopped and got a few slices of pizza at a pizza place in Taylor.  Then we stopped at the mall to get my computer.  After that we got gas, and then medicine for Noah at HEB.

Rachel, Grandma and Papa stopped at a restaurant and got lunch called Biderman's.  It's supposedly going to be a Jewish deli but it's not ready for prime time yet.

When we got home, the boys went out in the cul-de-sac and played basketball.

For dinner we just had leftovers and watched Timeless.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...
