1 - 3 = Record for the Week

Collin's baseball team played four games in the last six days.  Some of the games were late in the evening (8pm start) after the boys had a full day of school and homework.  In addition, for the first game, the time of the game changed a few times which was confusing for us all.  At one point, we thought the game was in the afternoon on a Saturday.  Several boys spent the night with a friend and stayed up late, including Collin.  That morning, we found out the game was back to 10:30am and we had to be there at 9:30am.  We could tell the boys were tired.  Therefore, it was not too much of a surprise that the boys made several mistakes and did not play well for the first game.  They lost that one 1 - 7.  Ouch!  Because we had three games in the next few days, the coach did not make the boys practice the next day.  Monday night's game was much of the same, unfortunately, and the boys ended up losing again 4 - 9.  Much closer game but still a loss.  Wednesday was more mistakes and another loss of 2 -7.  Finally, the boys turned it around during the late Friday night game and eeked out a win of 7 - 6.  Yeah!  They played well together, most of the boys hit and got on base which made the difference.  Collin hit both times at bat and made 2 home runs after as a result of stealing bases or running when his team mate hit the ball.  Yeah!!  They finally had another win.  They have two more games (Monday and Friday) until the playoffs.  Let's see if they can keep the momentum going.
