Games 5-9-2011
Last night we played one of the perennial powerhouses in our league. As expected, we did not win either game. No unusual things happened.
However, there is some fun and some notes worthy of mention in my son's little league games of late.
Saturday, he was playing center field. A ball was hit out there. My son played it perfectly off the fence, and rifled the ball back to second base - getting an assist as the base runner tried to stretch the single into a double.
To be fair - most 6-year-old plays do not go as this one did, so it was a smart move on the part of the opposing coach to send the runner.
Last night, my son had two assists on put-outs at first base, and he tagged another boy out. In the last two games, he has gone 4-6 at the plate, and so he was awarded the game ball again (3rd time this year) last night.
To top it off, the coach's wife asked my wife to sign my son up for the summer (All-Star) league. What an honor!
