I am so crazy proud of Will today. He played so incredibly fabulous. Unfortunately, Scott had to work today and missed it :( You will notice him progressively hitting worse as the game goes on, but everyone did today. It's because they were so EXHAUSTED! We only had 7 players today (most teams play with 10). So not only did 3 people have to bat twice every inning (we play 10 batters per inning), but Will had to cover the ENTIRE outfield pretty much by himself. I say pretty much because there was one other kid out there. But in his mother's own words, he'd rather be dancing than playing baseball, so it was kind of as if he wasn't even there :) Needless to say Will ran around a LOT and was therefore pretty tired when it came time to bat. 2 memorable plays: He tagged someone out at 2nd base, and got the winning out at home plate. Good game, Will! And he also got the game ball. Oh yeah, did I mention that he got his first ever HOMERUN?!?!?!? 1st at bat: HOMERUN
2nd at bat: Double
3rd at bat: Out at home plate, but if he wasn't the last batter he would have stopped at 3rd base. (Last batter you just have to get the ball to home plate and anyone who gets there after you is out)
4th and 5th at bats... wimpy singles :)
