Another Game

This morning the boys had their third baseball game. The team they played against was all girls. I thought that was pretty interesting. The boys only have one girl on their team. Eades played third base this time and he was having a hard time concentrating because he kept staring at whichever girl was on third base. He still did a good job though. Koen got his second hit with the pitching machine. This one went out pretty far too. He's doing really well learning the sport. Dougan has improved so much. He has no problem going out there and staying out there anymore. They still need to tell him which way to run and they still need to remind him to put his glove back on when he's board in the infield. It's fun to see them getting better and really enjoying the team. Brandis likes to watch them too and he loves it when somebody says, "ready ready" which is what they say when they need to get in ready position. He claps and cheers when something good happens.
In this rookie league each player gets three chances to hit from the pitching machine and then as many tries as it takes to hit from the Tee. Then they get to run to first and it doesn't matter if they make it there before the ball or not, they are counted as safe. They get to go all the way around to home and all ten players get to bat and make it to home. I really like it that way and so far the boys haven't even asked if they won or not yet. Maybe they realize that nobody really wins. Well that was just a little update on how baseball is doing.
