Baseball Season is finally on!
So we went into this season with more excitement than ever before because Brendon was #1 in stats all last year. We just knew it was going to be a great final year in Little League ! However, there is a but. Here it goes.....BUT.....the season has been in full swing for 6 weeks and 9 games down and Brendon has not a single hit. His last game he had full breakdown after a rough game and I was honestly surprised he didn't beg to quit.
Until today :)
Today we had a 10 team tournament. 1st time at bat, and Brendon steps up, first pitch, its a fast pitch, and he knocks it out of the park........... Freakin' WOOOHOO! He rounds the bases with a smile that we haven't seen since last season! After he makes it into the dougout, and after numerous butt whacks by his teamates (This practice confuses me...they will slap each other on the butts but refuse to sit right next to each other at the movies etc...??) his coach walked up to him and just said "FINALLY the Pinata shows up!". (To clarify his nickname is "Pinata" because he has been hit with more pitches then we can even count.)
But that's not it! His bat was on FIRE! And even though I could brag for hours, he ended up the day with 3 triples, 3 doubles, 2 singles, and the best Home-Run Ever made! The team ended up with 3rd place, but we now have reason to celebrate a hopefully happy rest of the season.
GO OTHO BASEBALL!!!!
