IT’S TIME FOR FALL BALL, Y’ALL!

Grandson Elijah played first base this evening in his team’s first ABYL “Fall Ball” game at the ball park in Algood.

He did very well and got several outs. He’s on a different team with different kids and coaches this time. They all hit and fielded well and hopefully had a good time.

Here he is, running like the wind to first base after smacking the ball. In Fall Ball, it’s more of a practice/fun type game, and it’s up to the coaches whether or not they want to keep score, which they did in this game (makes it more fun in my humble opinion). Elijah’s team won the game, 17 to 9. They’re off to a good start. Fun times at the ballpark!

First game of the season for grandson Elijah this evening as he gears up to play coach’s pitch baseball. His team is the Diamondbacks [Dbacks].

He’s playing second base [mostly] again this season.

He got a big hit that went all the way to the fence, but the other team was too quick and got him out before he hit second base.

The Dbacks ended up getting clobbered by the other team 15-2, but there are plenty of games ahead to do better next time.
