Not a Happy Baseball Day

We lost, 12-1 in 6 innings. To a school that was really ugly to us after our football loss in the playoffs last fall. And the umps BLEW three calls. (Jeff was reading aloud from the baseball rulebook app on his phone!)

Not a happy day. Nathan walked once, struck out once, and had a nice fly ball to the outfield, but it got caught. He did make some good plays in the field.

Hoping the next game will be better, but the scouting report for the next time isn't in our favor, either.

The Bats are Hot!

Another win, this time 16-2, ending the game in the 5th inning. Our bats are hot--including Nathan's! He grounded out once, hit a nice single into left field, and reached on an error. Good base running as well. Things seem to be falling into place for this team. If we can just keep it up for a few more weeks!

Back to Baseball

Sorry I got a little behind. Last night was our 3rd baseball game of the season. Nathan pitched 5 of the 7 innings, but we lost a nail biter, 7-8.

Nathan had one really good single and I think got on base another time as well. He struck out twice. But he threw 3 strikeouts and walked 4. They are looking so much better than last year so we are actually thinking playoffs might be possible! It's a short season. Only about 6 games left before the district tournament for playoff berths, so stay tuned!
