Spring Baseball

Baseball seemed to take over our lives for a few months this spring.  Alex had a great season though and helped his team to a second place finish. 

Alex played catcher most this year.  He always works really hard and does a great job. He also had an awesome year at bat.  I think he got a hit almost every game.  He even got a grand slam to help his team win a playoff game.   

Alex has never really pitched before but the last week of the season they needed him to pitch.  The pitchers are limited on how many pitches they can throw a week and we were out of pitchers.  The first game Alex pitched he got three quick outs and they won the game. They next time didn't go as well but he still helped his team to victory.  It was fun to see him be so successful. 

We weren't sure how well this team would do in the end of year tournament but they just kept winning.  They ended up coming up through the losers bracket and played six games (one game everyday) in the last week of the season.  They ended up with second place and played really great in the championship game.  It was a crazy week but fun to watch!
