Tuesdays are going to be a little busy for our family.
Both Samantha and Tyler have ball games at the same time, and of course they
aren't located near each other. Since Tara keeps score for Sam's team, she gets
to watch that game while I go off to watch Tyler's team play. That means that I
probably won't be getting much information to pass along about Sam's games.
Hopefully, with some help, we will be able to keep getting pictures.
Here is what I know about the game - it was a total
blowout, and the good guys were on the short end of the stick. The team ended up
losing 30-4 overall, but that won't be the official score due to mercy rules.
Tara wasn't thrilled with the opposition's pitching method (standing very close
to the batter to lob in pitches, making it much easier for the kids to hit),
which probably led to a lot of runs for their team. Our coaches, meanwhile,
pitch from a more standard distance and throw overhand (most of the time), which
will help the kids out more when the move up to the next level. Sam apparently
didn't have a great game batting today, nor in the field. Hopefully Thursday's
game will be better.
