Player of the Game

Carter has had a total of 5 baseball games so far.  And he's played first base in all of them!  He's doing a great job of fielding the ball in this position and getting the batter out at first.  Catching the ball isn't always as easy (there are some crazy throws and the kids have only thrown it to first a handful of times) but he's gotten at least one out that way too.  Carter's also doing a good job hitting.  Sometimes he has to use the tee because he doesn't always hit one of the coach's 5 pitches, but he always ends up with a solid hit.

Unfortunately I've only made it to 1 1/2 of the 5 games.  Three of the games were on Mondays when I have to coach Rylan's soccer team and the half game I missed was because I had to coach one of Rylan's soccer games.  Carter has a game on Thursday though that I will get to see!!!

Last night Carter got a special souvenir.  Last night Coach Owen started giving out game balls to a few of the players that did well in the game.  Carter was one of three players to get one.  He and Riley both got one for getting 2 of the few outs in the game (an inning often ends because the other team scores 5 runs instead of getting 3 outs).  Drew was the other player, and he got a ball for getting a good hit (the ball went all the way to the fence).
