Game Ball

Carter's baseball team had their preseason baseball game last Friday.  It was a makeup game because they were rained out earlier in the week.  Unfortunately Spring Break started for most kids in the area the next day so Carter's team was running low on players with several out of town already.  Carter's coach asked Rylan to play and since they still needed another player, we had one of Rylan's teammates (Sam) also play.

Rylan and Sam were nervous as they've never played kid-pitch before.  However, they both did great.  Both of them got hit by pitches on their first at-bats and got walks and survived.  Sam even got a hit at his second at-bat, which is amazing since each team only had 3 or 4 hits the entire game.

And Carter's team won!  The team they were playing was missing a few players but they are one of the most experienced teams in the league.  It was an exciting game.

Coach Jeff even gave Rylan and Sam game balls for helping out the team.  Rylan is so proud of his most recent ball!
