Well, this baseball season has been a very interesting one. This was the first time that the kids pitch instead of the coaches. Some of the games were very long and painful, but towards the end of the season the pitchers had become pretty good. Braxton, again was put into the outfield, and sometimes on third base. He has really improved. He was one of the kids that could actually hit the ball, could pretty much catch anything and can throw really far. There was one particular game the other team hit a popfly to left field Braxton stuck his glove out and caught the ball. Everyone was up and cheering, cause no one thought he'd actually catch it. He recieved the game ball three times this year.
Once again we made it to the finals in the tournament. However, during our final game in the 4th inning, the umpires were switched for some reason. We were ahead 8 to 2 and then all of the sudden they were ahead 10 to 8. The ump made some really bad calls. During the last inning, two of our coaches were thrown out of the game, parents were yelling, it was chaos. The boys were just ready for the game to end. It was a 2 1/2 hour game! Glad it's over......Trying to get Braxton to games was always such an ordeal, that I always forgot the camera, so I have no pictures of him this year. Next year I'll do better.
