So I got everything ready to go for our first game of the season. Baseball bag packed, sleeping bag in car, dressed in several layers and a few snacks, including a thermos of hot coffee...just in case. It is April 7 and 43 degrees outside. We are heading to Liberty Center for a boys baseball game. I am excited to see how the boys have improved from last year. Matthew had the opportunity to umpire almost all their home games last season and it was fun to see them from the opener to the final game.
We pull up and I see Liberty is playing Napoleon. Look out boys, this is going to be interesting! After getting settled into the sleeping bag...and yes it IS the way to go...the game begins and although Napoleon gets a run Liberty Center pitches a great inning, but Napoleon shuts them out. Unfortunately, Liberty's pitcher gets a ball to his hand and is out the rest of the game.
The boys play 7 innings and Napoleon ends up on top 15-3, but Liberty played hard and I have to think if their starting pitcher had stayed in they may have brought this one home. Great start to the season!
Matthew did a great job on the plate and after counting up all the pitches he had a total of 288 squats. Now if I could just stand behind him and squat along with him I could give Suzanne Summers a run for her money!
We leave the field at 8:00pm and the temp has dipped to 39 degrees. I phone in pizza to pick up one way home and the first game is officially under our belts with no injuries :)
