T-Ball FLOP!

I wasn't there in person... (I was attending my sister-n-law, Sheri's college graduation from Randolph Macon... shout out to Sheri!) But I got there just in time to see the little Knights red-faced and down-trodden as then were coming off the field. Apparently all the tees were broken, and wouldn't hold a ball long enough to do the job... so the coaches actually pitched the ball! The Knights (our team) was up to bat first... and with only 8 players present, each and every one hit the ball... most on the first pitch, the others after 2-3 pitches! Coach Mike (aka Dad, in our family) was the pitcher and he did a "good job" according to Josh. The kids were so proud of themselves, and the parents were having a ball watching them hit! Everyone was pumped up and ready for an entertaining game... Little did everyone know that would all change once the Rivercats were at the plate! Rivercat coaches were pitching too high, too low, too fast, didn't make the plate... etc.... and those poor kids couldn't hit the ball! By the time I pulled up, an hour late, they called the game after only getting through 1 inning (there's usually 3 innings)! Not to mention that it was 90 degrees out, and brutal, to say the least!

So although it was fun to get a "taste" of pitching baseball... I bet everyone on the team is going to go out and buy a tee, just to make sure we have plenty to spare!
