Wyatt's baseball team had a tough year, recording just one win during the regular season. He pitched (lots of strikes, but sometimes not at the right time) and he did an excellent job catching. The team's fielding was shaky at best, so being the pitcher was often rougher than it needed to be. This past weekend was the year end tournament and the team finished strong. Most of us expected to be done on Saturday - 2 losses and you are out. But they came to play Saturday morning and the game ended in a tie and even after an extra inning it was tied and the tourney needed to move on - so they decided the "winner" with a coin flip - we lost. Then we played our second game and it was exciting. We came from behind, Wyatt pitched a 6 run inning (more so due to fielding than pitching), and then we came from behind again and held them and WON! So fun for the boys (and parents). We got to play another game on Sunday morning and they hit, they pitched, a couple fielding errors and we lost, but I think they all felt better about their baseball season after the tournament and we didn't have to sit at the hot baseball field all day Sunday, so I think everyone was happy.
Fred did the book most games.
Our little catcher
He was always easy to spot with his flowing locks.
A happy team after the win in the tournament.
