Town baseball starts right as school is ending, for me it is a sign that summer has truly arrived. I held off putting Archy in baseball so he never played t-ball and he went right to coach pitch. I wasn't sure how he would do skipping t-ball if he would be behind the other kids or not. I think all the years of watching his brothers play ball paid off because he knew exactly what to do. He was quite aggressive and Archy was always in ready position and focused on the game. He was a hoot to watch and his games were so fun.

Throw him the ball, he's ready!

McCoy loves playing baseball! He was on a team of 8, 9, & 10 year old boys. He was 9 this year and so was in the middle of the age group. At this level, the kids do the pitching until a batter walks and then an adult pitches until the batter gets a hit or strikes out. McCoy most often was the catcher, if he wasn't he was playing in the infield. Once the playoffs started he was the only catcher. He did a great job!

Ashlee, Pa and Nona came to see the boys play several times. With all four boys playing, there was a lot of games to chose from. Now that baseball is all over I kinda miss it but I don't miss sitting in the heat watching them. Baseball will be back before we know it!
