My Rookie League Player

So C started his baseball season for this year. He has moved up to the next league--Rookie league. In this league the kids pitch for the first 3 innings and play catcher for the entire game. The coaches work with them a lot more to actually play the game instead of picking weeds or kicking in the dirt.

This year C is on the Auburn Tigers team. I miss the Yankees. I have caught myself almost yelling "let's go Yankees!"

C's first game was Friday night. Can you believe we didn't take a camera! I was able to get a few pictures with my phone but #1 they aren't very good and #2 they are still on my phone. It was our team's 1st game and the other team's 3rd game. We lost by the 10 run rule.

His 2nd game was today and they did so much better! C actually got to pitch for 1 1/3 innings. He did such a good job. Struck out 3 batters, walked a few, gave up some runs, but over all did a great job. He was so proud of himself! And he looked so grown up out there on the mound. My little boy isn't so little any more.

Last night he actually had a really play at first. He was playing pitchers helper and threw a kid out at first. Today he had two really good hits, past 2nd base into the infield and got a single each time.

I do have some video of him actually pitching but it's on my other camera (we actually had 2 cameras at this game) and I haven't had a chance to get it off there yet. I'll save that for another post. Here are a few pictures to enjoy though.
