This past week wasn't quite as busy as the rest. Hannah had one game scheduled for Tuesday, but it was rained out. The girls had been playing so well, the coach gave them the rest of the week off.
Connor played three games, and almost missed one due to a flat tire. Good thing for roadside assistance.
Connor was quiet on Thursday, but his team won 12-2. It was fun because it was against his Fall coach, but Connor was a little disappointed he didn't do much in the game.
Saturday was a different story. He played two games in Alpine against two pretty good teams. The first game was amazing. Connor's team began the game with a 42-minute first inning. There were no walks, just hit after hit after hit! Connor's team absolutely crushed the baseball on their way to a 22-7 win. Connor did his part with two doubles off the fence in right field and four RBI.
The real fun came in the final inning. With the game in hand and the coach needing to save pitchers for the second game, Connor got the call to pitch. He took a couple of shots, including one home run, but there were no walks. The other team just flat out hit the ball. The team was really excited for him in his first real appearance of the season.
The second game was not so lucky. The other team hit the ball like Connor's did in the first game. It kind of took the energy out of them and the final score was 22-6, although the game was much closer than it sounds. The score was 9-6 going into the last inning and the other team scored 13 runs. Connor had 4 hits on the day against some pretty good pitching. He now has 8 hits in his last 9 at-bats.
Monday's game was rained out but we were able to get some good news. Connor's coach has decided to keep the team together for the fall season. Connor was quite excited as this is the most fun he has had on any team. He is playing with the most confidence I have ever seen from him and the kids love him.
Hannah has a double header on Thursday and there may be a tournament on Friday and Saturday. Connor plays Wednesday, Thursday and two on Saturday.
