PLAY BALL!

This has been a VERY exciting week for us! Monday, May 24th 2010 Bayleigh played her first Little League Game and they WON! She plays for Waldron Health Care and Mark Benson is her coach. Anthony Thomas is the assistant coach as well. The guy pitching to her, I am not sure of his name, but he must be a friend or relative or Mark. Whoever he is he is an awesome pitcher! Bayleigh got to bat 3 times and got 3 hits!!!! Momma was so proud! She even scored 2 runs for the team. On one of her hits she got to first and then got to go the second because of an over throw on the other team! YEAH! She didn't get the 3rd point bc the batter struck out. :(

All of the girls did an AMAZING JOB! I know that our final score was 17, but not sure the final for the other team. It was either 4 or 5, but they didn't post it after the 6th inning and we didn't bat that inning since we were up.

She's ready to go!
Warming Up before the game!

Pep talk from the coach before the game. She is so short. :)

The team preparing for the National Anthem.

We were the home team so we started in the field. Bayleigh is in position and ready to go! (chewing her nails)

A neat bench shot!

Bayleigh's in the hole!!!!

Whoooo Hoooo! This picture is funny because the bat hanging on the fence looks like she threw her bat to hit the ball. Each hit she would gently set the bat down and then run so she didn't get called out for throwing the bat. :)

On First Base!

On second base! After this she didn't get to stand on Third because she got to go HOME and score her first point EVER!!!

Bayleigh scoring her first point!

Bayleigh's On Deck! Tongue out and all. :)

Batter UP!

Bayleigh scoring her 2nd run for the evening!

Swing Batter!

Here is a shot of her on Third. That is her coach Mark beside her.

This didn't end up being the final score because the guest team scored 2 or 3 runs the sixth inning, but it wasn't enough for us to bat again.

The line up to tell the other team Congrats!

Yes! that is Bayleigh causing the traffic jam! She didn't know to walk and high five at the same time. When I told her in the truck she said, "it's ok, they can come to me"! LOL! it was SO funny!

All in All we had the BEST evening. I love watching the little kids play. They are so cute. I knew that when the time came I was going to put Bayleigh in softball because of watching Colin the year before. I never got to play growing up and I think it is great that she has this opportunity. I am sure that throughout the summer there will be more blogs about baseball. :) As a matter of fact, she plays again tonight and we will be the guest team so I will be taking photos from that side of the field. Until next time. Thank you for reading and if you ever want to come and watch her play just let me know and I can give you the dates and time. :)

Love, Jenn
