Play Ball! {HOMERUN!!}

Xavier is having a great baseball season.  It's been a joy to watch him improve, learn, enjoy, and appreciate the game each time we play.  He catches pop flies, fields the balls, hits well, and mostly understands where the play is.  Moms of younger boys - take heart - they get there.

On June 11th we played a team that my cousin Chance's son, Rylan, was part of.  It was fun to watch the cousins on the field together.

Safe!

On June 14th we played away.  Xavier had a great night.  He was the last batter, which often results in a "home run," however, his last at bat he did actually hit out to the outfield far enough that he got his first ever little field home run!  He was pumped.

Tonight we were back at home.  Xavier had a couple of great doubles and caught a pop fly in the field.

It's been a fun season to watch and we'll be sad to see it come to an end next week.
