By the hair of their chinny chin chin...

They pulled it off....They won their first two games in the "post season" securing a spot in the Championship game against the First Place team......the White Sox. Last night these boys fell asleep and lost to the White Sox  15-9. Because they hadn't lost and the White Sox had...(double Elimination) They played again tonight and they squeaked out a 31-30 Victory..... (sounds more like a football score!)
And there you have it folks..... One baseball season wrapped up! And it's a first for us.....we have piles of trophies (from soccer, baseball, 1k runs, you name it) but this was the first trophy our kids ever really earned.... (did I mention THEY ARE ONLY SIX!!!!!!!!)

And a ROCKIE too...

Although Anders team has made it to the final Championship game.... Gunnar's Rockie team has suffered from some "close game" losses. They lost in their first play-off game... but he kept a GREAT attitude and enjoyed playing short stop. He even got an over the fence home run in practice one night. Gunnar loves sports......that's all there is to say about it!!

Baseball is Back...

It's Tournament time and Anders team.....the PIRATES (as you can see) have actually come in to the tournament as "2 seed team". They plan their first game tomorrow night. Although Anders started as first basemen this year he was since moved to 2nd. This is Anders playing his position.....sometimes it takes a little while for kids to get a hit (five swings and their out) so if he has too much time he "fake throws it" to first!!
