Wahoos!

Carter had his first baseball game of the season today.  He is playing with the Brentwood Baseball Club this season and is on the Wahoos.  It was HOT today - mid 90s and humid.  And the game was at 12:45 pm.  Luckily the games in this league are pretty short (they only played two innings) and each team bats through their lineup completely each inning.

The boys were provided with a shirt and hat this season and they got them right before the game today.

I had to get Carter new pants because the ones from last season were too small.  However since baseball's main season is in the spring, a lot of the stores around here don't restock in the fall.  We found some at Dick's though that work but are still a bit big and baggy.  I also found him some used shoes that were only used one season for $6.  Carter's really excited to not be wearing soccer cleats anymore :)

Carter had great hits his two times at bat (both off pitches, not the tee).  Both were solid fly balls and no one got out on either of them.

Carter's first hit ...

Coach Jeff rotates the players every game.  Carter played right-center field the first inning and first base the second inning.  No balls were hit to him though and I think he only had one ball thrown to him but it was after the runner was already at first.

The boys all survived the heat but some seemed to just barely make it.  I helped Kristin (my friend and the coach's wife) with dugout duty and mainly focused on making them all drink as much water as possible.  The boys all had purple faces after one inning.

We don't keep score but the game was pretty even.  Carter said he had fun too - yay!

Notice the new glove Carter picked out for this season (his old one was starting to fall apart).
