The game ball


Evan has struggled this baseball season with hitting. At the beginning of the season, he seemed to have better luck with the bat and ball actually connecting but recently not so much. I feel bad for him because every time he gets up to bat, he has all 4 coaches giving him instruction so it's no wonder he got a little nervous each time. My sister played softball for years-high school, college and beyond. She gave him some help on Sunday and lo and behold, he got a hit last night at his game!! I wanted to cry. He made it to 1st base and then after the next batter, to 2nd. At the end of the game, the coach said that we usually don't give out game balls if we lose, but tonight he wanted to give it to Evan. He was so proud of himself. It goes without saying that Mike and I were very proud too! Tonight, he was excited to practice with Mike out in the yard, both hitting and catching. 4 more weeks of baseball.............
