Baseball has Begun!

Saturday was opening game for the Bayfield baseball season and this year Mason is on the Phillies team. One of his friends, Taed, is on his team but the rest of his friends are on the team he had to play against on Saturday. They introduced each team at 11:15 and then our game was at 2:00. Look at the difference in Mason (the tallest one there in the red) and the kid to his right....!

Mason was the starting pitcher and did an awesome job! He pitched the first 3 innings, then they put a relief pitcher in, the other team started scoring some points, so then they put him back in the last inning. He struck out 9 batters, had 2 hits and 1 walk, and scored 3 times and had 3 RBI's. So we're very proud of how well he played in his opening games against his best friends. Look how thin the boy is now!

Oh and what about that haircut! WOW! He has ears!!

Unfortunately, we lost by one point. In the last inning, we had a man on 2nd and 3rd (with 2 outs) and the other team intentionally walked our hitter because they knew the next hitter had struck out his other 3 times at bat. While it's a legal move, it sure seems "chicken" and it made me so mad! I hate playing against the other mothers on that team as well because they can be sooooo obnoxious!! Maybe we'll beat them next time!
