Yes, finally we one a game! It was a great game. I think the final score was 17-15. Ethan did a great job. He went 4 for 4 at bat and had 3 RBI's. He has really gotten the batting down. He does a pretty good job at 3rd base, too. He surprises me on fielding grounders. One time during this game, there was a situation in that there were runners at 1st and 2nd base and he had to tag 3rd base if the ball was hit to him. Well, the ball was hit to him, but slightly to the 2nd base side. He moved over and snagged the ball, but he didn't believe he had it so he checked on the ground for it. That was enough time to move the runner over to 3rd safely. He is still playing in the dirt at third and watching moths, candleflies and whatever other bug that can fly. In time, he will understand why I am always telling him to pay attention.
Jamie played her game tonight and will have one tomorrow. She did okay. She didn't hustle enough tonight so the coach took her out several times. One time she got in and was caught not hustling to get the ball away from the opposing team and was yanked after 5 minutes of being on the field. She was frustrated when she had to go back to the bench. Katherine will have a game tomorrow, too. She and Jamie will play at 9 AM and Ethan will play at 10 AM.
Here is a video of Ethan batting two games ago.
