Last year of teeball for Kade! He was way more confident this year - and it helped having a better coach. Another year as a Dodger!
Brent opted to Assistant Coach for Brock's team this year - the Mets (with an occasional assistantship for Kade's).
Several times this season the boys' games overlapped. This particular day, Kade's game was at Penny Road Elementary and Brock's game was happening at Ritter Park. I helped out as first base coach and took the opportunity to get a picture of Kade up at bat!
My #9 (Kade) loved playing first base - he needs to be in the action!
Brock's team played several times at Lions Park near Cary High School. I wasn't a fan of that field - too close to the road and bad views for the visiting team's spectators. But I was finally able to see this new pitcher in action. The game before was almost a rainout, so not many kids showed up - Brock stepped in to pitch two innings, gave up one hit, walked one (hit him with the pitch) and struck out six.
This is a video of Brock's game on May 5, 2022. He did okay - some throws were not going exactly where he wanted. I was so proud of him for getting up there in front of so many people to pitch!
If memory serves me, I believe he was upset because he didn't do as well as he did the first time he pitched. Brent had a good talk with Brock on the way home how some days are going to be like that - but you have to do your best and keep a good attitude for your team.
Papa came to watch too!
We had some time after Kade's game and the three boys went out on the field for Brock to practice his pitches.
Even Kade had a turn pitching - his throw got all the way to Brent at home plate!
