Tournament in Conway, AR

Jack had a tournament in Conway this weekend. They lost their two pool play games on Saturday. Jack had one strike out, two ground outs and one walk. He played catcher and first and pitched one inning. On Sunday, they won their first game. He had one walk and one strike out. In the second game they lost to the #1 seed. He had one hit, one run and a ground out. The boys were very tired in this second game.

 Jack was out trying to steal home!

Spring Showers

While watching Jack's baseball practice, we saw these clouds come in and it rained briefly, then we saw this beautiful rainbow.

Number Five for Elizabeth

 She lost her bottom tooth tonight. I pulled it for her after she brushed her teeth. Grandmom did a lot of wiggling over the weekend though!

Baseball Season Opener

Express played in the April Fools Day Classic yesterday and today.  Grandmom and Granddad were able to watch Jack play yesterday in his two games. They lost the first game to a AAA team 17-6 and won the second game 15-6. Jack pitched one inning in the first game and caught one inning in the first game. He played first base in the second game. In the first game he had two runs, one walk and one reached on error in two at-bats with four stolen bases. Pitching, he had two hits, two runs and one strike out. In the second game, he had three at-bats with two hits, two runs, four stolen bases and one ground-out.

Today, they ended up playing the same team AAA as yesterday and lost 12-1. Jack had one at-bat and struck out. He played first the whole game. It started raining about half-way through the game but they continued to play. It was a good experience for the boys. They ended up 7th in the tournament.

Jack is number 16
