Games On and Then Games Off

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan played baseball in a tournament for the first time since June yesterday.  It was for the Blue team of TRPD which is the "B" team.  The weather forecast called for rain, but the rain held out long enough to get their two games in.  Evan had a long at-bat in his first at-bat fouling 5 pitches off before ultimately popping up.  In his second at-bat, which was the top of the last inning and his team down 3-1, Evan came up with a man on and no outs.  His coach called for a surprise bunt.  Evan waited until just as the pitcher threw the ball to show bunt and laid down a perfect bunt.  He caught the other team off guard and ended up beating the throw for a single.  After he crossed first base, he turned around and squeeze his chest and arms together with his hands in fists and screamed "Yeah!" The entire bench of his team went crazy cheering.  It ignited a 4-run rally to take the lead.  In the bottom of the inning, they brought Evan into pitch.  He got the first batter to ground weakly to him and threw the runner out and then struck out the next to batters to preserve the win.

The second game didn't go well.  Evan caught and he did a fine job.  He didn't like the umpire's strike zone and I think the umpire knew and so while there wasn't an explicit argument between Evan and the umpire, there was definitely a tension and he wasn't giving Evan the calls.  Evan was definitely frustrated.

After the game, we came home and relaxed.  We went to Buffet Palace for dinner. 

I woke up early this morning because Chewie needed to go out.  I let him out and noticed it was pouring rain.  At that point the tournament had not been cancelled.  I got up when my alarm went off an hour later and checked my email.  It said that the games were delayed one hour.  I came downstairs to feed Chewie.  About 30 minutes after that an email came that the games were all cancelled.

I worked for some of the morning and early afternoon.  The boys played upstairs all morning long.  Rachel did some cleaning this morning.

After lunch, Brody came over and asked Evan and Noah to play.  They all went outside and played for a few hours.

For dinner, we made an EveryPlate meal.  Then we went to Bahama Buck's for dessert. They were giving out double punches on your punch card since it was raining.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...
