Tuesdays are going to be a little busy for our family.
Both Tyler and Samantha 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.
Tyler's team was involved in another close game, but they
just couldn't seem to throw strikes when they really needed them. There were
several innings when they got two outs, but just couldn't get the third out without
letting a couple runs score. Tyler had a strong game in the field while playing
second base, which was good to see. He fielded a grounder and tagged out the
runner going to second base in the first inning. Later in the game he caught a
pop fly to get another batter out. He also fielded a couple other grounders, but
just couldn't quite get the ball to first base on time to get the runner out.
Tyler didn't get any hits while batting today, but he did manage to get a couple
of walks. Hopefully as the season goes along he will get some confidence
swinging the bat. The team attempted a rally in the final inning, but just
couldn't quite complete it and ended up losing the game 16-12.
