First Fall Ball Game of the Year!

Okay so I am about a month behind on posting! We've been so busy lately with baseball & a weekend trip to Virginia (a post on that is coming soon!). The boys are almost finished with fall ball & our team is doing so great! They have only lost one game! Here are so pictures from the first game.

Myles getting ready to play!


Silly Connor with 2 hats & a batting helmet!


Can you see the excitement in their eyes?????



Myles getting ready to warm up. This is becoming one of his favorite stances that drive his coaches crazy!!!! He will be on first base standing like this!!!!!


Love this picture of Connor!


Okay so the boys' first game was a rain out, but they quickly played later in the week. It rained that day too but the rain had stopped in time for them to play! The coach put dirt on all of the boys' faces to get them ready. Wait until you see Connor after the game!


Dirty and ready to play some baseball!!!


Myles' first at bat of the season


He looks so tiny! But they were playing on a the minor's field, which is larger than the coach pitch field.


And it's a hit!


He's off....


and lands a triple! We were so excited! Myles was the second batter & he knocked in a run!


And he got to score too!


Here's Connor's first at bat in coach pitch! I was so nervous for him! He was batting 5th in the lineup.


Yeah, his dad wasn't too happy with this swing!


And this is the actual first hit! I was so happy to get a picture of it. The ball is coming towards him.


And he hit it all the way to the outfield on the large field!!!! We were really excited for him!!!!


And he is running towards third!


First at bat of coach pitch=a triple!


He eventually was able to score!


Myles playing first base with Connor right behind him playing right field. Connor backed Myles up so well during the game!


What a serious first baseman!


And a serious right fielder. The ball came to Connor once & the other coach tried to send the runner from first to third & guess who threw the runner going from second base to third base out from right field???? Connor! It was great & shocked everyone! After the first game, the coach moved Connor to pitcher so he hasn't had any more plays like that.


Very excited baseball player!


All smiles after the first win!


Check out those faces. Connor's face may look a little orange. That would be baseball dirt!
