Tyler played in his first baseball game since his burn injury on Thursday, June 10th. I know this was a little earlier than planned, but the team was short players and we had bought him a sleeve for his arm (for two reasons - to keep dirt off of his arm and to keep the sun off of the new skin to prevent sunburns) so we decided that it was OK for him to give it a shot. A brother of one of the players on the team (who's Dad is also the assistant coach) dressed for the game too, so Tyler only ended up playing two innings in the field, which was OK because he was a little rusty. He had two at-bats and struck out both times, but the second one was on a terrible third strike call on a ball that was down near his ankles. Tyler also attempted to bunt during this same at bat, and he had a good stab at it, but the ball rolled just foul down the first base line. I think that I should try to work on this with Tyler so that he can use it more often in a game. I also upped his per-hit allowance to $5 from the $1 that we established earlier in the season, mainly because he hasn't hit like I hoped he would have by this point in the season.

	Tyler botched this grounder, but he wasn't the only player who let a ball get by him while playing in the infield today.
	Tyler had a good bunt attempt during his second at-bat, but it rolled foul.
	Unfortunately Tyler struck out for the second time in his final at-bat.
