Austin could not wait for this tournament! He's been hitting a 100 balls each day to get prepared! It started early Friday evening. I picked the kids up a little earlier at school to give them some time to get home, grab the ball gear and head to the ballpark!
We were happy to see the blue skies after a rainy week! The boys were ready and they won their first and only game on Friday!
Matt and Mike are the head coaches for the Flames but the other dads help with base running and other its a team effort from everyone to make these wins! I love watching Mike with the boys! They listen, he teaches! They love him and he loves them! I love to watch these boys play ball together!
Austin was really hopping that all those balls he hit at home will help him cross that home plate a few times!!!! And it sure did help!
Mike is the pitcher! This is how it is for the younger devision. Each game he pitches the balls to our boys on the Flames! The same goes for the team we play against. They have their coach pitch to them. Good job Babe!!!!
We had drinks available for the boys and it was such a lovely day on Saturday!!!! The sun was warm and we now started our summer tans!
Each game begins with the boys lining up on the field and having a prayer!
On Saturday, there was a cook out for the team of burgers and wings and hot dogs! Mom's helped bring the fixings and sides! This was a fun time with the Flames and they made it to the semifinals. The Orioles knocked us out before the final game and the boys were bummed but they had a fun tournament!
Ballparks are just the best of warm days! We have spent many, many hours at these parks and I just love to watch the kids thrive, learn what team work looks like and have a blast together!
Go Flames!!!!!
