That's All Folks

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The baseball season came to an end today.  It started early, though, with another 8am game.  Today, Noah decided not to come with us, so it was just Evan and me.  We visited Donut Taco Palace for the last time until the fall season on the way up.

In the first game, Evan started at first base.  His pal, Angelo, was catching.  In the second inning, with the score tied at 2, bases loaded and one out, they brought Evan into pitch.  The first batter grounded weakly to second or short and one run scored.  Somehow they called a balk on Evan on the next pitch.  His coach came out to argue but the call was not overturned and a second run scored.  Evan then struck out the next batter to end the inning.  His team tied the score at 4.  Evan came in and got a 1-2-3 inning but getting a foul pop up behind home plate, getting a runner to bounce back to him and then inducing a swinging bunt which Angelo fielded nicely and threw to first.  In the next inning, Evan got another foul pop up behind home plate, a grounder to second, walked a batter and struck out the third batter.  That caused the game to go into extra innings.  In extra innings, it starts out with the bases loaded and one out.  The last three batters of the previous innings are the base runners.  Evan was the batter.  He worked the count to 3-1 and then took a ball off his belt buckle to to force in a run.  That was the only run they scored.  So Evan came back out to pitch with the bases loaded and one out.  He calmly struck out both batters he face to end the game and send them to the next round.

Around that time, Rachel took Chewie to the dog park.  Noah didn't want to go with her.  Rachel said that Chewie had a good time running around.  As soon as they got there, Chewie raced for the water.

The second game didn't go as well for Evan's team.  Evan caught in this game and played well.  He had some nice blocks and good throws.  But the team was out of pitching and so the game got away.  Nevertheless, it was good to get a win with the Blue team.

On our way home, we stopped and got some slices of pizza to eat in the car.

Just before we got home, Noah got picked up by Jude's family to go for a hike.  Rachel also gave Chewie a bath.

We took it easy the rest of the afternoon.  Then we went to pick Noah up from Jude's.  We stopped and got Papa and went to Me Con Bistro for dinner.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...
