Baseball is another huge part of our summer and spring around here and also. Jackson starts us off in March playing for Graham County Little League and by the time that is wrapping up when school gets out the Thatcher league is ready to start up and the little boys join him. This was our first year where all three boys were on different teams and Jackson overlapping and playing on two teams at the same time for a few weeks. So a lot of our weeks we were attending 6 games. It was pretty crazy and pretty hot but the boys all love it and that makes it worth doing.
Jackson started pitching this year and developed a great arm. By the time he was finished with Graham County and starting the Thatcher league he had gotten really good. He also got lucky enough to get on Brandon Lunt and Dustin Seale's team and Dustin used to play semi-pro ball and was able to give him some good coaching. His Thatcher team went on to win the league.
His best game was played the night before the championship game where they were trying to win a chance to play for the championship. They were tied up with a team and it ended up in an hour and half of extra innings. Jackson ended up pitching all but one of the 8 innings and also hit the winning run. It was an amazing game. He was so proud when they let him keep the game ball.
Jake excelled at hitting and is going to be a good little ball player and Joey is such a fast runner and did really well too. It was fun to let them play.
Championship Team!
