Fury and Majors

This is Connor's first year playing club baseball and he is loving his Fury team.  The boys play hard and still manage to have fun with each game.  They are a month into the season and are doing great.  
If you can't see, Connor is third from the left in the back row.
Connor is also honored by being a 10 year old in the town Majors league.  So as usual, he is juggling multiple games at the same time.  This is the Needham opening day game and he definitely didn't want to miss it.  He started off with a rope over the short stops head.  There he is on first base.  Look at the size differential - he is playing with kids that range in age of 10-13.  
Connor - you looked great out there and we love to see you smiling.  Your skills are remarkable and it is due to your hard work.  Keep it up.  We are so proud of you and love you!

Walpole U9 Tournament

Yesterday was Garrett's first experience with playing in a baseball tournament and boy was he geared up and fired up.  They came away from the day with 1 win and 1 loss.  Due to the run differential, they proceeded into the next round today.  
Garrett was the starting pitcher today and he didn't disappoint.  He pitched lights out.
As lead off hitter, he did his job by getting on base each time at bat.  You are simply phenomenal to watch.  
They won a nail biter to send them to the semi finals.  
In the semi finals, it came down to the last batter and unfortunately it didn't go the Hurricanes way.  It was amazing to watch the team pull together during this tournament and really show their best stuff.  As usual, Garrett was a fantastic teammate and played his heart out.  Great Job!
