Spring/Summer around here means baseball. Both Cooper and Eli love baseball. This spring, Cooper played his second year of Machine Pitch ball for Bailey's Landscaping. He was one of the best players on his team. As a result, he was chosen to play on the Red Wings All Star team. All week this week, they will play the Blue Sox All Stars each night. So far, the Blue Team won one game, and the Red Wings one another. Cooper has had some awesome plays. He hit 2 doubles in the first game, one of which brought in three runs! And in the second game, he hit nice singles every time at bat, and had a magnificent catch when he was playing pitcher. He came out of the pitching box and caught a huge pop up before it went foul...getting the third out of the inning.He is a good solid player.
Eli had a great season too. He played his last year for HYAA in the Schley league. He was the main pitcher for his team, Kaye Products. Chris was assistant coach for the team. They went into tournament play in third place, but managed to battle and battle to the bitter end. The beat the undefeated team last Saturday, and had one more battle with them Monday (double elimination tournament). They took the lead, then got tied, then lost...but second place was a great effort. Eli tried out for the district team and is playing for them at the same time. They have had several scrimmages already, but their first tournament play is this weekend. There has been/will be a lot of baseball going on here.
The pics are all of Cooper's All Star team... because the games have tended to be at the same time, on different fields, I have not been able to get pics of Eli.
