It's been a fantastic baseball season.
Alex has been playing catcher and really been making big strides in catching the ball, throwing and hitting like a monster. We entered the league tournament in 2nd place (6-1-1) and won tonight--which puts in the league championship next week (woo-hoo!).
Tonight was great, but I've got to tell you about the game last week. We were playing a make-up game to determine if we would enter the tournament as the 1st place team. In a see-saw game that saw us get way behind & then catch up again, we entered the last inning down by two runs. W scored a run but they also got 2 of our batters out. When Alex stepped up to the plate, we had a runner on 3rd base. With two outs and two strikes, Alex swung and made contact with the 41 mph fastball. He hit a pop fly between short & 3rd base--and they missed the ball. The runner scored and we ended up tying the game on Alex's clutch hit! It was a great night!

Alex, you rock boy! Strong work buddy!
Catcher, eh? That's a tough position to play, with all the squating, catching, throwing, not to mention having balls hurled at you all day... Never a dull moment when you are a catcher!! Way to go, Alex, for the clutch hit last week, and for being brave enough to play catcher!!
You go Alex! I'm sure your team appreciates your talents!
