Connor was selected by coach to pitch in the first inning of the first game and proved his stuff by only allowing one hit and three strike outs. In the first inning he also had his first at bat which was a solid hit for a single. He was then told to pitch the second inning as well. Here he forced a pop up for an out which he caught and two strike outs. Quite a masterpiece! Connor also got to hit in the second inning and wow did he hit. Connor roped a ball into the outfield close to the forest which proved to be an easy double. He definitely brought his game for the first game of the day and was psyched that they won. I was even rewarded after the two innings when my big boy came and gave me a huge hug and kiss. To me, I was the lucky winner.
The kids went right into the second game which was proving to be more difficult. Connor had another stellar hit which was a line drive between short and third base. This ball actually went into the forest for a double and helped drive in some runs. The Gold team had a come from behind win to clinch the coveted trophy.
Connor you always work so hard at practice and we are so happy you had fun.
The team had fun and played hard. We were all rewarded with a BBQ that night to watch the World Cup at Coach Todd's house.
