BASEBALL SEASON IS OVER

I am sad to say that baseball season is over. They played their final games this week. Carl played a makeup game on Monday against Edna. He did so awesome. He hit two homeruns. So his dad will be giving him some money. He played first base, and had many outs. It is great that a lot of kids hit the ball to first base. There was also a play where the ball was hit to third base and the player threw it to Carl and made an out. I know it sounds like this should be done a lot, but in Carls team never had practice after the first game. It has been quit annoying. Carls team was suppose to play against Chetopa last night, but Chetopa only had 6 players and had to forfeit the game. That was alright with us because James' game last night against Chetopa was played in Chetopa and not Altamont where Carl's game should have been played at.
On Tuesday we drove to Chetopa for James' game. He played first base for the first three innings. All the players played well. Their hitting was really good tonight. James pitched the fourth inning, and seemed to be struggling. He slid into second during one of his runs and ended up hurting his knee. I think he is alright but he was pitching funny. Altamont won, and I don't remember the score I think it was like 15-2. Chetopa needed another game on their books for All stars so we played them another game. This game was much closer. They played three innings and the final score was 12-7. Altamont was behind in the second inning by one, but then they had a good comeback. It is tough on the boys to play this long. We were there for four hours.
Baseball is enjoyable for everyone. Especially when Haylea and Isaiah have someone to play with. Now we are doing All stars and will enjoy it. James' team seems to have a pretty good chance at making it to state. I know that it is one step at a time. They will practice Thursday of this week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week. They have a bye on Thursday and play on Friday. Oh how exciting this will be.
