saturday afternoon baseball

last week was his first time pitching this season. he had fiddled with it a few times last season but really seemed to get the knack this year. so- he got the first 3 runners out in a row. i asked chris, is there a name for that?! what’s that called?! he said, 3 up 3 down. 🙂 i love that there’s a name for that.

anyways..not that today’s nearly 100 degree game wasn’t stressful enough… but in the middle of the –i’m not sure what inning it was but it was close to the end and we were down 3– inning, the coach pulled out the current pitcher and called cameron in to take over. just like that, in the middle of the inning. we didn’t know he was going to pitch and if you could see my stress level rise.. it would have been crazy. all the mommy requests from elsie faded away as i totally focused in on cameron. we neeeeeeeed him to get 3 outs quick. he gets 2. one walk. and then a 3rd out. just like that. holy cow we were proud. we didn’t end up winning but if he could withstand that little bit of pressure– it’s just a sign of good things to come.

we are SO proud. 🙂

i know i’ve been slacking on blogging but i am gonna do a week of daily blogging starting monday for someone who is going overseas again. wah. especially since we have 2 games.. 1 of the games i have snackstand duty, if cam pitches, i might just have to close up shop. 🙂
