First baseball game

Last night was Kyle's first baseball game. It went from 60 degrees to about 45 degrees at game time. Hence the hoods and blankets. Oh don't forget the down jacket that I am wearing! About 1/2 an inning in the rain started!!!!!

If you're wondering why Jason looks silly, it's because he has a mouthful of peanuts!

Kyle did an amazing job last night. This is his first "up-at-bat". He started out this inning with a line drive between the 3rd baseman and shortstop for a single...yay!

Here he is waiting for the next hit...he made it all the way home for the first run of the game!!!!!

The rain started pouring down accompanied by lightening in the 3rd inning so the game was called for 15 minutes which turned into 30 minutes after which they decided to proceed. Only to have the game called again about one inning later! This time we waited for another 15 minutes and continued to play.

Kyle was up twice more during the game...got hits each time...thrown out at first, but made up for it with his last hit...Up-to-bat with one out with a runner on 1st the score 5/5. He hit a grounder between third base and shortstop. He got his first RBI to pull his team ahead by one. The ball was overthrown to 1st base so Kyle ran on to 2nd, where he stayed...the next two batters got the last two outs :( Bummer! The other team did manage to pull ahead, but only won by one!!!! Way to go, Lions!

He has his next game tonight, which was postponed from Monday due to rain and SNOW! However, I believe there is a good chance of it being cancelled again because the forecast is rain and thunderstorms all day...well for the next two days!

Looking forward to the weekend and spending time with friends! Kyle has a baseball clinic tomorrow morning and Jason will be with the youth group for the day cleaning up at Camp Forest Springs...I hope the weather will cooperate.

Have a great weekend!
