Play Ball!

Opening day at the ball park was a busy day. Millie played at 12:30 and Reed played at 4:00. I don't have any photos of Millie's game because I was the dugout mom but I'll get some another game. She did great but her team lost 17-7. She was not happy. Up until now she has always been on the winning side...basketball, softball, cross country, science fairs, art shows...she doesn't know what it is to lose. And to lose by that much was not fun. I saw this coming though. Her team has a lot of room to improve but maybe this will be good for her. You can't be on a winning team all the time and she needs to learn that sooner than later I guess.



Reed was fired up for his game. This was his very first game and he has been bugging me about it for months! Literally, since November when I signed him up he has not stopped talking about it. His league is set up where the coach pitches but if the batter misses 3 times, they get the T out to hit off of. Reed has always been a strong batter but the pressure of his first game must have got to him. He had to hit off the T the first inning but the next 2 he had great hits from the coach pitching.



His league doesn't keep score in the first part of the season so I honestly don't know if his team won or not. They looked pretty good though and stand a chance of hanging in there for some wins this season.
