Collin’s baseball team played their last regular season game on Friday. Today, they play their first game of the tournament. It is single elimination, so they keep playing until they lose a game. If they keep winning, we have games on Mon, Tue, Wed and Thu. The first game is against a team that beat us this season, so they’ll have to be focused and play a good game tonight!
Collin’s been playing first base most of the season (although he’d rather play pitcher). he’s not the tallest one on the team, but he’s one of the only ones that isn’t afraid of the ball when it’s thrown toward him. Plus, he has a knack for knowing when to come off the bag, and when he can try to stretch to get the out. he’s gone a very good job over there!
I finally took some pics of the action (at least until the batteries died in my camera, and I didn’t have the case with me that has the spares). But here are a few of them:

He connects… it was a ground ball, but he was safe at first:
