Baseball 2023 Season - Part III

Kade's second to last game of the season, he was selected to be catcher for an inning! He's the cutest!

Truly all the kids "caught" like that. Just let the balls hit their chest and then rolled them back behind them. It's just funny. 

He even had cousin Blaine there watching him in that game! Watch out Blaine - Brock is gaining on you!

Certificate time - Kade received "Most Enthusiastic" - HA!

Kade's last game of the season and look at that stance!

If a Diamondback caught a fly ball during any of the games, one of the coaches was handing out free milkshake coupons. Wasn't he nice that on the last game, he gave one to all the players regardless! Goodberry's gift cards! Yum! 

At the end of Kade's last game, the designated snack family opted to hire an Ice Cream Truck to meet us in the parking lot after the game! Free ice creams for all the Diamondbacks! What a treat! (And who cares that it was 10:30 in the morning!)

Kade - Diamondbacks 7-8 - Spring 2023

Brock's last game was also a 9am start (albeit a different day). The boys were ready to go! 

Brock started pitching and after the first inning we were winning and everyone was excited! 

It was a close game actually! The Mets were up, then we were down, then one run ahead. It was a nail biter! 

The Mets pulled through with Brock pitching 4 innings and Reid pitching the last! Go Mets! 

Final Score = Mets 7, Rockies 5.

Time for an End of Year Baseball Party at Ruckus Pizza!! We took over the entire outside patio. Pizza, buffet style. I was responsible for organizing the pizza party and Brent ordered the trophies and drafted the speeches. Brent took center stage in front of all the players and parents and shared a memorable moment about each from the season. 

I am honestly so proud of Brent coaching Brock's team - I see just how much goes on behind the scenes and I know first hand how much time, energy and effort Brent put into this. I think it was truly a memorable year for all the boys - especially my husband. 

This is the day Blaine was here - he got to watch Brock play baseball in the morning and then Kade that afternoon!

Such a great picture of Brent's Mets!

Too funny - posing with the fire hydrant!

A great year for Brock! He really developed his pitching - perfecting his #1 (Fastball), #2 (Curveball) and #3 (Slider?). Brent received lots of compliments on his left-handed pitcher.
