We finally finished this fall season of t-ball. It was supposed to wrap up the first week of October, but due to many, MANY games being postponed due to rain, we finished Monday. We didn't necessarily want it to end because Alli and Cole did so well, but the scheduling and rescheduling really started to get old. Anyway, here is a little note on how they did.
Alli, to put it bluntly, really ROCKED (this Mom is not at all proud of her softball girl:)) !!! She practiced quite a bit in the backyard this summer and it really showed. She had many solid hits, doubles, triples, and a home run. But, it was what she did out in the field that really impressed everyone. She played 2nd base almost every inning of every game and made on average 2 outs per game (in this league a team making 2 outs in a game is doing really good). She even got all 3 outs in one inning a few games back. She was sooooo excited!!
Cole was a star also. He smacked the ball to the fence every time at bat!! His team of little boys unfortunately fought over the ball quite a bit in the field. Many times it was a dog pile on the little boy who got the ball first, but Cole was still able to get a few boys out. In fact, in one play, the ball was hit to him at short-stop, he got the grounder but the 3rd baseman came over and jumped on his back. Cole just stood up with the kid on his back and ran over to 3rd base and got the runner out. We knew he was strong, but not that strong. Anyway, he really loves to play and is begging to try soccer, too.
I know I did a lot of bragging on how well the kids did this season, but what matters most is that they had fun. There is nothing like watching them play with big, beautiful smiles on their faces!
