Go Orioles!

What a fantastic spring baseball season for Maxwell! The Orioles were a special group of kids with an awesome coach and I am so incredibly proud of how well they all played this year. They hustled, had great attitudes, and ended the season in 2nd place overall for regular season play. We made it through the first round of the tournament in a nail biter game beating the Red Sox by 1 run in the bottom of the sixth. Unfortunately we got beat in the semi-finals and couldn’t pull out a tournament win like we did for the Mid-Season Tournament but that’s ok. This team played great and I wish we could do it all again!

Maxwell has been working on his hitting with a batting coach and is making great contact with the ball. In one of the tournament games he almost got it to the fence! I see homeruns in his future! He played first base all season and owned it! He can stretch his body out to catch that ball and keep his foot on the base!! He had a few double plays, fantastic catches, and got the game ball more than once! I just love love love to watch him play!

Other skills gained this baseball season? Learning to blow a bubble! ha! Maxwell would chew bubblegum every game and perfected this skill between innings!

The most fun of it all? Making new friends and getting to hang out with a great group of boys.

Of course, Spencer and Samantha had plenty of opportunities to watch him play too! 🙂  They didn’t miss a game and are the very best baseball siblings!

Of course, the icees don’t hurt!

We had other visitors out to watch a game including Susan and Lulu…

I feel so fortunate that we got to play on this team with Coach Welden. I wish this team could stay together every year!

The sweetest…even if I was at all of those games too! 😉

It was a great season but all good things must come to an end…but not baseball! We’re on to play summer all stars! Go Spartans!
