After a few rained out games, today was the first game of the season! Owen is one of the better kids on the team (it’s about half and half of kids with experience and kids with none). Owen was tagged to be a pitcher and catcher—and of course he’s still awesome on first base! Check out these amazing catches during practice!
Tom loves being there to help coach every practice and every game!
Owen was the very first one up to bat! Talk about a nervous mama. 🙂 But I shouldn’t have worried—he got a base hit on the second pitch!
And then—SURPRISE!—he was pitching! He didn’t do too badly!
More first-base coaching from dad!
And then—SURPRISE!—he was a catcher! Again, didn’t do too badly! (My knees hurt just watching!)
I honestly don’t remember if we won or lost—there’s no scoreboard and they do know at the end of the game but I’m writing this two weeks later. I think they lost since the other team was quite good… But the kids all had a lot of fun!
