After a 2 week break from Tball games due to Spring Break, it was back to baseball Saturday last weekend. This time we played the A's and started the game with something new - the Little League Oath.
I guess they do this before all the games, for the older kids
Then it was time to play ball! Drew batted first on Saturday. I got one of his practice swings.
In the bottom of the first he played first base and I caught a picture of him catching a grounder.
Second inning he batted middle of the line-up and made it to first.
Coach Dave/Daddy likes to rotate who starts the batting line-up. It keeps things flowing better when they aren't always batting in the same order every inning. Since the final batter gets a "home run" and there aren't any outs in Tball, this offers something to keep the boys busy.
In the 3rd and final inning, Drew played pitcher. Which is where most of the balls are typically hit. Drew stuck to the "pitcher mound" though and didn't seem to go after the ball much.
That picture cracks me up. I have no clue what he was doing other than pointing to the batter.
It is really interesting to see how different each team we play is. The A's were all about defense and keeping their boys focused on what's going to happen. They all kept the "ready" position well. Of course they had a lot of parent volunteers - one per base. So they could keep their boys better focused unlike ours who enjoy playing in the dirt. We have a total of 3 coaches - that's including Dave.
We're already half way through the season already. Only about another month left. Drew says he's really having a lot of fun with it. Lucky for Dave.
