Finally a Win

Our son, Caleb is on the same baseball team as last year, called THUNDER. Last year they all really seemed to click from the start and had a fairly good season. Very enjoyable to watch the kids work together and grow as a team.

This year it seems like the boys are struggling to pull it together. I'm not sure what happened but it is very noticeable. They have the same coaches, who are very good with teaching the boys and trying to keep up their confidence but again, something is not clicking with the team.

From the beginning of this years season I've referred to them as the 'Bad News Bears'. However, last night we played and finally won our first game of the season. Talk about exciting for both, the boys and their parents and family. Caleb played short-stop and his norm - third base and did it with absolute confidence. He was also focused enough to hit 2 triples in a row. Talk about a boy on cloud nine - THAT WAS CALEB!

Long story short, the boys are finally getting it together with just a handful of games left, but there getting it together. I couldn't be more proud of all the boys and yes of course, I give my little big man two thumbs up for growing in confidence and helping his team to their first win of the season.

Thunder - 11
Opposing Team - 3

Way to go THUNDER!
