Another Season of Baseball

Blake's season of Fall Ball is in full swing and he is having a blast!  He is happy to report that he is one of their pitchers...talk about a happy camper!
Rick wasn't at his game today so I had to keep his pitching stats to let him know how Blake did and he did GREAT!  He had parents coming up to him in the parking lot afterwards congratulation him.
He pitched 2 innings (max per game with pitching rules for the league) and threw 36 pitches total...
20 strikes, 10 balls
didn't walk ANY batters
struck out 5 batters (was happy to report he struck out their 1st batter both innings)
Not too bad for this being his first season of pitching...him and Rick have practiced VERY hard this summer.  They have gone out for a couple of hours just about every evening to work on his batting and his pitching and it shows.

It has been a lot of fun watching him pitch each game, along with a lot of time on 1st base and we can't wait for more to come!
