Game #2 - Getting Better

Game #2 was quite an improvement over game #1. Nobody ran wildly through the outfield when they were supposed to be batting, nobody cried and nobody said they wanted to go home and never come back.

Mason acts shy sometimes and wants someone to go with him when he's supposed to go up to bat. Here Grandma S. stands behind Mason (in the red shorts) as he waits for his turn to bat. Mommy & Daddy worked with Mason & Alex the night before & their batting is getting batter.

Mason (left) & Alex (right) started to lose focus on the game so Grandpa S. went out in the field with them to help them pay attention to the ball. Home plate was a mud hole because of all the rain so they moved everything out toward the outfield.

I was so lucky to get this photo! Alex fielded a ball in the outfield. Mason was so happy for Alex that he gave him a huge hug! All of the parents thought it was sweet & I was pretty proud that even though Mason wanted to get the ball, he was just as happy when Alex got it.
At this age, everyone bats & everyone scores, there are no outs. Alex was the last batter so he got a "home run". Coach Chris ran along with him to all of the bases so he knew where to go.

This game was much more fun than the last one. We are all looking forward to seeing how next weeks games go.
