Baseball Boys

Tonight both boys had games, both at 6:00 but at separate fields. The nice thing was the fields were only 2 miles apart. Chris watched Kyle's game while I went to Kevin's. About 45 minutes into the games, I get an text message from Chris--Kyle hit a grand slam home run! The first grand slam for the team of the season and the first home run for Kyle, let alone a grand slam. He was grinning from ear to ear.

Kevin decided to entertain us watching his team by playing the catcher position just like the big boys. If the ball popped up foul, he would rip off his catcher's mask so he could see better. It was so much fun.

The pictures below are from Saturday's game. Kyle got to pitch and he did really well. Chris took his picture while he was warming up so he would not be extra nervous.

Here's Kevin getting ready to throw the ball.
Added comments: According to Chris I did not explain Kyle's home run accurately since I was not there so I've added his comments below.

Wendy didn't do this justice. Kyle gets up to bat, bases loaded and after letting a couple of balls waft past, hunkers down and absolutely explodes on the ball, driving it deep into left center right in the hole, Kyle was so excited he nearly ran over the kid who was on first as he nearly overtook him coming into home. Serious ear to ear grin, the stands erupted and Kyle went home with the game ball. He followed that with a few crucial outs playing both first base and the last two innings at third, including tagging a guy out trying to steal third in a nail biting play. Awesome Job Kyle....
