Darn Coffee!

At last night's game, Drew and I went to grab a cup of coffee because it was soooo cold out there and when we got back, Brian was on 2nd base. We were promptly told how his hit was about 5 feet short of going over the fence. I can't believe we missed it - for stale coffee!

Brian had a great game. Got up to bat 3 times and had 3 hits, although one of those hits wasn't strong enough and resulted in a double-play. But he got one of the three "game balls" that were given out.

I love to see his skills improve as he gains confidence.

*****************
As an added boost to Brian's confidence, he received the following kudos by his coach via emai:

"It was good to see us hit last night, but only Brian had more than one. He had two hits including a long shot to the left field fence, so of course he earned a game ball. Brian has not played much baseball before except for a little at Parks and Rec., but he is very athletic and a fast learner. He has really developed into an asset to the team. Great job, Brian!"

He only mentions 2 hits because the one that resulted in two outs doesn't count - but it counts in my book!
