Baseball

Brandon...pitching for his team. His team is doing pretty good this year. They are currently tied for 1st place with 2 other teams. The tournament coming up should be interesting.

Movin' on up!

The coaches and Little League president have talked to me about moving Brandon up a level cause he is just that good! So last night they asked me about it again (just do it already, geez!) and thought it was too late but the new coach just called me and he will be joining their team tonight. He now plays for Wilder Construction. Its not all that much different - he is going from Minors 1 to Minors 2 - the only difference in how they play is the kids actually pitch for 1 inning instead of the machine pitch. I just hope the other kids on the team are better players as well and can actually get the ball to Brandon and actually catch it when he throws it to them.

Its kind of nice when you have all these people noticing how good your kid plays and talking about it. Brandon is good at baseball and I am glad he enjoys playing it.

Brandon's Baseball Game

Tonight Brandon played another minors team. He was at the top of the line up for batting and took out the other teams pitcher on his second time at bat. Then when he was on 1st he knocked the runner over when he was running for the ball. AND THEN he just about hit the other coach in the head with a ball!!! I told him that he could NOT eliminate the other team to win! He was pretty proud of himself though....he said, "Mom! Did you see I hit the pitcher?" Me: "yeah". Brandon: "YEAH, he had to go home!!" Followed by a few little chuckles. He is one of the oldest on his team and one of the best players too. He really enjoys playing, I think he would prefer to be on a team with players more in his league though. I will post some pics of him at bat a little later.

Autumn is also playing tonight and we will have an update on her game when Dave gets home.
