More baseball

Adam and Brooks had another game today.  They were really ready, and made some great plays in the outfield.  Adam hit the ball twice, but got thrown out both times, the other team was really doing a good job at fielding.  Brooks was thrown out once, but made it safely the other time he hit and made it to 2nd on the missed catch at first base.  He went on to score one of our 3 runs when Dillan hit after him.  This and a great outfield play holding a long ball hit to a double earned Brooks a game ball.  Great job Brooks!

Little League

They boys are playing Smyrna Little League in the Minor 2 division.  Their team name is the Volcanoes.  We had our 3rd game tonight against the Mudcats.  It was quite a game.  The Mudcats took the lead early in the first with 3 runs, we scored 1 in the bottom of the first.  Later in the game the Mudcats took a 4 to 1 lead and then in the bottom of the fifth, the Volcanoes scored 4 runs, taking a 5 to 4 lead.  In the top of the 6th (the last inning), the Mudcats scored 4 taking an 8 to 5 lead.  Finally, the Volcanos scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 6th and had a man on 3rd base when the final batter hit a liner down the first base line that the first base man just made a fantastic play on and was able to tag first.  Final, Mudcats over Volcanos – 8 to 7.  This was some exciting baseball!
