Drew and his teammates had a pretty good game tonight,
despite the 8-0 score. They played a pretty good game defensively overall, which
meant that most of the kids were paying attention to the game instead of the
bugs, the grass, or whatever else catches their fancy. They also hit well, but
struck out at rather inopportune times. I think that they left the bases loaded
in every inning tonight, which was very frustrating. Drew struck out in his
first at bat, but had a hit in each other at-bat today. He played at shortstop,
outfield, and first base tonight.
Just a quick note... the pictures may be a little bit out
of order as I used two cameras to track the action tonight, splitting time
between Drew's field and Samantha's field next door. Try to enjoy them anyway...
