Baseball Season Comes To An End

The Giants' loss of their first playoff game marked the end of Thomas' first, and Charles' last season in the "coach pitch" league.

Overall the team did okay. But the boys really did well this year and had a lot of fun. And although neither the boys nor the team broke any records, we do have some bragging rights when it comes to team batting averages:

1. Charles .867
2. Enrique .818
3. Thomas .800

Fall Ball

The boys' game schedule has been added to the calendar. It seems that they are mostly in the late afternoon (3 or 5pm) and the last game (not yet listed) is not set.

"I caught the ball!"

So declared Thomas to the crowd after catching a fly ball, and then running it to second base for a double play! In the end, the Bees lost to the Rivercats 17-15, but it was a great game nonetheless.

A few other highlights include his inning as the pitcher where the threw a few runners out at first, and a single that eventually scored a point for the Bees.

The Rockies Win!

The Rockies took on the Rays last night in what was a close game from the very start. But the last inning closed with a bang and the Rockies won their first game 15-12.

Weekend Update

Another great weekend of baseball! The Rockies made a great effort, and although it was quite close there for a while they did not pull out a win. But Charles had at least one hit (that I saw... I was working the concession stand) - a single, and did score a run.

The Bees on the other hand, won their game 15-12. With few outs being made and a 5 run-per-inning limit, it looked like it was going to be a 15-15 tie. But they managed to shut down the opposing team in the last inning and hold them to 12.

A great day all around!

Most exciting game yet!

Charles brought his "A Game" tonight, whacking one to the fence for a triple. And although the Rockies lost 13-12, they sure made the Pirates earn it.

We couldn't be prouder, and by the look on Charles' face  after scoring a run, neither could he.

Quick Update

The boys had their first practice today. Its going to be a great season!

Baseball Try-Outs

Charles really brought is "A-Game" this morning for the try-outs. This is his first year at coach-pitch and although he's been worried, he was completely at ease hitting one of the three pitches and catching a pop-fly!

Thank you Auntie Jen!

Update: Sorry for the lack of explanation, but when emailing a photo to the blog it doesn't allow any more text than the subject. We had a great time today though, even before we ever got to the game. The boys even got to see this photo up on the Jumbotron!
