I am so proud of Jessie. He is really good at football and he is good at baseball but he just doesn't have as much self confidence in baseball that he has in football. But today he is starting to get more confidence. We played 3 games today not including the 3 we played during the week. The first game we played today the team was really good and they shut down all of our hitters we couldn't even get on 1st base...So Jessie plays up on the 9 year old team and he is last on the batting roster...(mostly b/c last year he didn't consistently hit well) And it is the 3rd inning and Jessie is the first to bat and he hits a base hit and then the players after him start hitting and he makes a run. So now the score is 1 to 3. Then later in the game Jessie hits the ball to the fence and we score more runs and win the game 6-4.
The last game we played tonight we were behind 5-1 and we come back and tie the game. And we are in the bottom of the 5th inning (they only play 5 innings), 2 outs, 1 runner on 1st, and Jessie at bat and he hits a line drive up the middle to the fence to bring in the winning run! The umpire gave him the game ball. He also had a great catch in center field and had a double play! His confidence has grown and I am so happy for him!
