Drew moved up with his coach and the majority of his
teammates to coach-pitch baseball this year, despite only playing one year of
T-ball. I think that he will do fine overall, but it has been a bit of an
adjustment for everybody to this point of the season. It was pretty obvious that
their opposition today had several players who have played at this level before,
which showed in the final score - a 14-5 loss for the Ramsey Built Construction
team. Drew had a rough day at the plate, striking out twice before finally
getting a hit. He did manage to make it around the bases to score a run in the
final inning, when most of his team's runs were scored, but it wasn't quite
enough. Overall a decent start, and things can only get better from here!
