Jacob's baseball team won the in-house season end tournament! They looked like the bad news bears the first game they played, but they really pulled it together and became the "comeback kids". They often started a game with a rough inning where the other team would get a few scores up on them. They never let that deter them, they fought back to win many of those games ending their season with a 13-3 record, playing 2 games today. The first game Jacob was the starting pitcher, but despite many good pitches he walked 4 guys and got pulled. They were down 0-4 after the first inning, but they battled back to win 6-5 with nice at bats from Jacob, he was 4 for 4 hitting 1 double, 2 singles and a walk. If we remember right, he hit in the tying run. Then the second game the Sand Gnats found themselves down 3-6 after the second inning, but again batted themselves back into the game and pulled off a 12-11 win. Jacob again had nice at bats including another double. It was so fun (and stressful) to watch the boys play together and encourage each other. This was Jacob's second championship in his 9/10 league, so that is pretty cool.
Gavin also completed his season with the Rock Hounds. His team kind of fell apart at the end of the season and did not do well in the tournament. They may have finished last or close to it. Luckily, Gavin didn't care too much about the winning or losing. Actually, about half way through the season he was ready to be done. He often had nice hits and was a good baseman when he was paying attention.
