Another one bites the dust

Yes, another summer is biting the dust!

We started playing machine pitch baseball in May. Typically the teams are scheduled 2 maybe 3 games a week...MAYBE, more like 2. Well May in Oklahoma was a VERY stormy month so a lot of our games were postponed...causing a HECTIC June. We played 16 games in 21 days.

Last night the team of Roosevelt 2 aka the Rays played their last game. They made it all the way to the semifinals of the city tournament. The league had 22 teams and the boys finished 3rd. It was great to see our boys of summer improve along the way.

They represented their school well!

1st Baseball Game

Yay! April is over? Where did that go? Well April has given away to May and our first season of machine pitch baseball has started.

We're working on his stance...it may be a long season! Hey at least he's having fun!!!

Let's go Rays!

Summer is starting

Ahh the joys of early summer...I grew up in a small town & for the early springs from the time I was 7 until I was 13 every May & June was spent playing softball. I enjoyed it. I unfortunately wasn't good enough to play at the next level, but I can remember practicing A LOT.

My son is entering his first season of machine pitch baseball. This is a whole new avenue for us. This past weekend we got him one of these...

I can remember spending many an afternoon trying to perfect my pitching, throwing and catching. I hope we're giving him a similar experience I had.

He may not be drafted any time soon, but I'm glad he's out there trying. 

I just hope he gets the life long friends  like I did!
