Williamsport Needham American District 11 Champs

Williamsport starts at the 10u age bracket and Needham fielded two teams this year.   Connor was on the Needham American League team which was coached by Coach Todd, Coach Karp and Daddy.  For two weeks the kids played a double elimination tournament in District 11 against Needhan National and Norwood.

Game 1:  Needham v Needham was a great game with friends everywhere.  Connor was the starting pitcher and his performance was phenomenal. Needham American came out with the win 9-3. 

Game 2:   Needham American v Norwood was a tough match up but Harrison Silverman pitched a gem.  Needham won 5-0 with some spectacular defense.  Connor helped set the tone of the game with defense.  He was playing shortstop and the first ball was a hard hit ball to him which he cleanly played and threw the runner out at first.  One of many great plays.  

Game 3:  Needham v Needham under the lights in Norwood.  Needham National had an eight inning victory over Norwood so Norwood was eliminated from the tournament.  Connor was starting pitcher again and pitched a complete five inning victory.

Hopefully you can read this summary which shows what a spectacular night he had. With five innings pitched, he had 9 strikeouts and 3 hits and no walks.  Insane!!!

He also went 2-4 and reached base three times which allowed him to be the winning runner who scored.  Connor you are amazing.  Congrats on such a well played game. 

This victory makes Needham American the District 11 Champions.  

This is the first time Needham has advanced past the district round.  Go Needham!!!

Connor, Tyler, Adam and George

This game was played until 10pm so it was a late night for all.  Here are the pins celebrating the championship.  

Now there is my very happy son.  Go Connor.  We love you and that smile. 

Now they move onto District play.  

Summer Baseball Begins

Tonight Garrett and the U8 Needham White team made their debut.   The starting pitcher was number 8, Garrett Falahee and he started the season with six straight strike outs.  Well done - too bad you could only pitch two innings per league rules.

Garrett's first at bat was a memorable one - an inside the park home run!  Congrats G.  Your team is off to a great start with their first win against Stoughton.  Have a great summer season.  

Fun with Friends

After a baseball Williamsport scrimmage, we had some friends over to the house and then headed out to play some mini golf.  

Thanks to camp counselor Coach Todd he kept the kids moving and trouble down to a minimum.  They all had a great time even with their competitive nature. 

So happy to see all those smiles. 

Happy Fathers Day

We had a great Fathers Day today as we headed out for a run/ bike ride.  We went over 6 miles and had a blast.  

Then we treated Daddy to a milkshake and headed home to continue to celebrate.  

Happy Fathers Day to Dad.  You can't imagine kids how much Daddy loves you and how he goes out of his way to see you happy. We love you Daddy!

Muckdogs Season

Garrett had to play Single A in Needham baseball this year and his team definitely had some fun.  It wasn't nearly as competitive as the Hurricanes but he managed to stay competitive and relaxed.  

With Daddy as head coach, Garrett still managed to learn and get better with friends.  Look at G, Devin and Desi.  

So happy you had fun, my little Muckdog. 

First Swim Lesson

The summer has begun and one mission is to become better swimmers.  So off to swim lessons we go.  

All the kids looked great in the pool and can't wait to see how much they can improve this summer. 

Last Day of Kindergarten

A year has flown by and Emily is officially a First grader.  Here she is leaving for the last day of Kindergarten.

We are so proud of you little lady.  You continue to mature and amaze us everyday.  Keep up that smile and know we love you.
