Last Weekend of Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, we got up early to go to Evan's last tournament.  This is the "B" team that he's playing for.  We had to be at the fields at 7:15.  Noah wanted to come with us because Angelo's brother, Tony, as going to be there and they were planning to hang out.

We stopped at Donut Taco Palace on the way.  Noah didn't want anything.

Evan played third base in the first game.  He made some very nice places on balls that were chopped.  He seemed to know when to field the ball so he didn't get caught between hops.  He popped up once and walked twice in the game.  The team lost that game.  In the second game, he was catcher.  He threw out a runner trying to steal third in the first inning.  They never tried to steal second on Evan but they attempted third three more times.  Two of the times, I thought the runner was out but the umpire called them safe.  The third time the throw was just late, although that was Evan's most impressive throw.  The pitch was high and inside causing Evan to have to stand to catch but Evan was off balance. He somehow managed to catch it, transfer the ball to his throwing hand and throw a perfect strike without moving his feet.  He didn't step into it at all and the throw looked great.  They unfortunately lost that game as well.

We came home and did nothing all afternoon which was kind of nice.  Evan, Noah and I were all quite tired.  Rachel did take Chewie on the upstairs porch.  She did some work out there and let Chewie relax looking out front.

For dinner we went to Chipotle and then we went to the new Bahama Buck's that just opened in Austin.  We've been looking forward to it opening.

The boys will be getting ready for bed soon.

Until next time...
