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. :)
hi miss u. Luv u all. xoxo

That is sooooo awesome, Jaime! Tell your little man Congrats! What an accomplishment. I just love boys baseball. My oldest son played for 3 years and then decided he wasn't that in to it. Now my youngest son is in his 2nd year and I love watching him play. He takes the game so serious and works really hard to do a good job! Our Saturdays are full of ball games and nothing makes me happier! Enjoy your guys season and I'll be doing the same here!

i still remember my brother's little league games, but he wasn't a pitcher.
maybe he'll grow up and be a star pitcher some day...
