Little League Baseball

Well, this last weekend... Zack had his tournament for his little league baseball team. I am proud to announce that his team, the Red Soxs came in 2nd in the tourney. It was a close struggle. In the semi-finals... we were down by six in the final inning. At the age 10 group they only allow 6 runs per inning. So, this was a do or die inning for us to make it to the finals. We did end up scoring the 6 runs to tie it (nearly giving myself and Kevin a heartache). We thought we were out for sure. Zack came up to us and said, " I just have a feeling that are going to win". Sure enough, they did. It was a very exciting time for us.

In the finals we lost by only one point. It was the closest we came to winning againt the undefeated team, the Yankees. All in all in a victory for us all the way around. At the end of the game, Zack's 3 of the 4 coaches praised him for the wonderful plays that he made. Since he will be 11 at the next season he will have to move up to a new league. Three of the four coaches are forming new teams in this new league and they all want him on thier teams. Seeing how this was his first season to ever play baseball and he has done so well, I have never been so proud of Zackerie. He is growing so fast and makes me prouder every day! Kudos "Zack Attack"!!!

It is really fun when they succeed isn't it? Even in failure, we can always find success as well. It seems you are on that course! Congrats and enjoy moving up.

Yes it definitely is a thrill to see them succeed. As long as they do their best that's all we can ask for!
