The boys have been keeping us busy with baseball games--a game every night on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! We never have to ask ourselves, "What should we do tonight?"!!!! :-)
~~~
Austin's team, Barron Gold, is doing well this year. I believe we have only lost 3 games, and have won 4 this season. Austin is having a good season--he plays second base, and is the lead-off batter. Last night, his coach told me he is batting over .400 this year!
~~~
Here is Austin connecting with the ball--look closely, and you can see the ball sailing up and off of his bat!
~~~
~~~Austin waiting for the play at second base...
~~~
Austin scoops up the ball, makes the out at second, and fires the ball to first for the double play!!!
~~~
When he is not playing baseball, Austin is playing basketball every Wednesday in the Clayton Basketball League this summer--Jamie coached the boys this last Wednesday, and they won both games!!!!
~~~
Andrew's games are opposite nights of Austin's. Andrew plays Monday's and Wednesday's, while Austin plays on Tuesday's and Thursday's.
~~~
Andrew is rounding third and heading for home plate!
~~~
A great batter always lets the outside ball pass him by...
This pitch was outside the strike zone!
~~~
Andrew always gets the "steal" sign from his coaches--he is the fastest baserunner on the team!
~~~
Jamie also keeps busy during baseball season. He is helping out with Austin's team this year, and his specialty is coaching third base and stealing the runners home!
~~~
Only one more week of summer baseball for the boys, and a tournament for Andrew--then baseball will be over for another year! It is so much fun to watch the boys and their friends play ball each week, but I think my behind will look forward to a break from the bleachers!

Andrew's team is doing spectacular this season. They are undefeated, and have beaten every team they have played by the "10 run rule". This is when our team has outscored their opponents by ten or more runs at the bottom of the fifth inning.

Here is Andrew, our lefty batter, at the plate.
