WINNER!!!
Dreaded no more!  It was a tight game through the end but ETrain prevailed with a 4-3 win!

What an awesome way to start the season.  Great job boys!

HIT-A-THON

Hello Family and Friends,

 

Hope the new year is treating you well.  This year William's summer baseball trip is June 15-20 in Panama City Beach Florida.  He (we) could not be more excited.  Each member of the team is responsible for raising funds for the trip and a fun way to do that is through a Hit-A-Thon.  Here is how it works; William will hit 5 balls and the distance will be calculated for each, the one hit the furthest will be used to calculate donations.

 

Example: 

   
    Pledge  0.10 per foot - William hits the ball 250 feet - owe $25.00

  

If you would like to participate please respond by emailing me at aboswell629@aol.com or by phone and I fill out the information on our player form.  The Hit-A-Thon will be on Feb 21st, once it is over I will email you some pictures from the event and your total pledge amount due. 

Flat donations are also welcome.  :)

 

Please do not hesitate to call or email me with any questions.

Summer 2014

Sunday a bummer day!

Sporting the new uniforms today, thankfully they grow on you and I heard a couple of compliments from strangers so I guess they are ok.  Our first game was against Triple Threat who beat us yesterday.  They were ahead 2 to 0 in the 3rd but in the 5th we finally got the swing of things and  pulled out a win.  Our second game was against the Warriors who kicked our butts....nuff said!

Sometimes you Walk sometimes you Hit and sometimes you Strike Out.

 

It was a rough one!

It was a rough Saturday at the park.  There were several great hits and only a couple strike outs, but too many errors resulted in 2 loses.  On a happy note, Grandma Cindy is here this weekend!!!

Stiches

Based on the ball stiches that are creating a colorful bruise on his upper arm this morning I am thinking he got hit harder than I thought.  Kudos to him shaking that off like he did! 

 

FYI...William said he we bummed he does not own any sleeveless shirts so he could wear this like a badge of honor all day.  He also said he expected to see this posted before he gets out of school today so here you go buddy.

My MVP

Our Little League season came to an end this evening.  The boys played hard and it was another nail bitter game.  It was heart breaking to see some of the boys (including mine) crying when they lost, but knowing that they have that kind of passion inside of them is heart warming.
