Baseball, Softball etc.

Tonight was one of those nights where I needed to be two places at once; it seems to happen alot with all three kids playing sports. Mac and Tacey had games at the same time. I looked at the schedule with the kids and we collectively decided that I would go to Mac's game tonight and Tacey's next time. Anyway. . . Mac hit onto base twice, struck out once and caught a beautiful pop fly to get the hitter out when he was playing short stop. His team lost 15-7.

I did make it to the end of Tacey's game; she was catching (and doing a pretty good job at it). She said she did hit and made a run. Her favorite part when she was batting, strangely enough, was when the pitcher threw the ball and hit her in the hiney. (She likes to brag about her war wounds. . . ) I thought it was pretty good to actually hit her hiney, since she really doesn't have one. That particular wound balances out where she got hit in the stomach when she was pitching to the Junior Girls team at practice this morning; the team she Assistant Coaches. The little girl who hit her felt really bad, Tacey said that one didn't hurt but the one on her hiney did. She also played first base and catcher. They usually shuffle the girls around so they get experience playing different positions, but except for the one inning she played first base, she was catching. From what I saw they would have had alot more outs if the girls playing the bases had been really watching the game. Either way they won 19-18, and got free ice cream from their sponsor; who just happens to be restaurant. Tacey got the ice cream gene from all of her great-grandpas, grandpa and dad, so now she especially motivated. . . .

I think that is it!
