Baseball Playoffs

Sebastian’s team finished a very respectable 2nd place in the Little League Minors division last night.  They had a great season and it was fun to see the improvement in their batting and fielding throughout the season.  In the final inning of last night’s game, Sebastian had an awesome hit into the outfield.  We thought he would certainly make it to second base, but his ball was caught by the son of one our best friends who plays on the opposing team.  Although the kids were disappointed to not finish first, they did have some exciting games during playoffs including one that went into extra innings.  Sebastian knocked in the winning run for that game!  We really enjoyed the season are sad to see the end of Little League baseball for the year.  There is actually have one more weekend of baseball next week when Sebastian’s All-Star team competes in a local tournament.  Rumor has it that games begin at 8am on Friday and run all weekend.  We can all hardly wait. 🙂

Here’s our little superstar.

Take Me Out To The Ballpark

Another baseball season is upon us.  Sebastian is in his 2nd year of minors in Little League.  This is his first year as pitcher though.  He has a very strong lefty throw.  So strong that I make him ease up a bit when we play catch in the backyard.  (Just to be clear, Mary is writing this, not Mike.)  I never thought a 9 year could throw that hard.  He has struck out a few kids already and shows great promise for the season.  His fielding and batting has been great.  He is quite a player.  Look out MN Twins!  

Here are a few photos I took during his pitching debut.

On a side note, I didn’t have much opportunity for game photos.  Sophia and I were spectators while Mike was coaching.  We thought it would be good to bring Daphne along since she had been home alone most of the day.  What I didn’t realize is that boxers are kid magnets.  I could have assembled my own T-Ball team will all of the little kids that wanted to pet her (and get licked by her).  I made the same mistake last night too.  If there are going to be any more game photos, Daphne is going to have to stay back at the house.  Sorry Daphne!
