Zach had a baseball game tonight and what a game it was! The first inning they took the lead with a bang - one of the kids hit a grand slam and it was off. A couple innings later the other team caught up and the rest of the game was tie - ahead - tie ahead...we ended up losing 9-8 in overtime, but what a fight.

I was bummed because Zach didn't get to play too much. He normally is catcher and this team has a catcher that they've had for 2 years, so he started. They were going to then put Zach at 1st base, but then decided to work him in as a pitcher. He pitched the last inning of the game and he did a pretty good job. He walked two players though and then they switched out pitchers and the next pitcher had a kid hit one clear out to the fence and so they won by one. Zach was so down on himself, but in my opinion he had nothing to be upset about! He pitched very little, but he felt like it was his fault that they lost since he pitched those two that walked. I spent the entire drive home talking to him and letting him know how good he did.

Even though he didn't play much, they do bat through the roster - which I was glad. He had a hit right down the first base line and ended up getting out, but that was okay because he got an RBI.
It was a good game and looking forward to the next two nights of baseball...actually have 7 games scheduled this week in a 6 day time frame...these boys are going to wear me out!!!

Take care...
