Check out the determination! Matthew's eyes are on the ball!We had a great second game. The boys have already improved, and the season has just begun! First game Matthew hit the ball, but didn't run. This game he not only hit the ball, but was also one of the fastest runners! He had plenty of practice too because he hit 2 or 3 foul balls first... and ran each time! I was so proud of him! He also fielded a ball in the outfield and threw it in as fast as he could. At the end of the game the coach gave a pep talk about how well they did. He talked about Matthew saying if he could go from not running last week to being the fastest, he expected great improvement out of the rest of them too. It sounded better than that, but the gist was Matthew did a fantastic job!
Austin is the lead hitter, so he gets to hit twice. He made it to first both times and all the way around! He scored two runs! He also replaced a boy for one inning on second base. In that inning he was hit one ball and was able to stop it!
The boys had great fan support this game. Mom, dad, Maggie, Nana, Pap, Uncle Jason, Cassie, Thomas, my Uncle Harley, Kimmie, Laurie, James, and Brittany!

Go Austin and Matthew! Go Mets! Our next game is Wednesday.
See the way Matthew's elbow is down? The coach teaches them (as I'm sure he should) to keep the elbow up. But with the t stand down so far, Austin would hit longer or harder we think if his elbow was down. He listens to every word of the coach, and this is a good thing. I'm sure he is doing it right, but the boys that hit it further have their elbow down (in t ball)...or least it seems that way???
