Noah's baseball season wrapped up last week. It was a weird season with a couple games and practices getting rained out, one game the north wind was so cool that I wanted to get a blanket from the car and only one game that we sat in the stands dripping with sweat. All in all, Noah had a good time and was happy with his season but he did have some frustrating games.
He had trouble hitting the ball in a couple of games and that was very, very frustrating for him. He was dipping down with his bat when he swung (almost like a golf swing).
It's hard for these kids to handle all the waiting that happens in baseball...Noah liked to keep an eye on the batting order while he waited for his turn.
At the last game, my mom took Levi and his buddy Kreed to an open area to play baseball...but then their ball went in the dumpster! Luckily, Levi was willing to go get it and Grandma was strong enough to pull him back out!
Noah nearly hit Ben (the pitcher) in the face with the ball. Thankfully he missed and Noah was relieved to have finally gotten a good hit again!
He even managed a home run during the last game - his teammates were pretty excited for him when he got back to the dugout.
He was the catcher for the last game. That afternoon before the game he told me, "I can't wait to be catcher! They get to catch and throw the ball more than anybody else!"
By the end of the game he was pretty tired of wearing all the catcher gear, he told me the mask was too hot.
Another year of baseball in the books. It was fun to watch this group improve during the summer.
I suppose it's just about time for Noah to turn his sports attention to football...oh my.
