This past Saturday Shane had the opening ceremonies for little league and his very first game. He is on the Diamondbacks this year. With a practice and two games a week, we will be spending many hours at the ball fields for the next two months!
Shane's very first at bat! He was able to get a hit on the very first pitch! In his league, a pitching machine pitches to the kids. If they are unable to hit the ball after 4 pitches, the coach brings out a T for the hitter to use.
The coach is very good about having the kids on the team all play the different positions. After playing third base and right field, Shane was able to put on all the catcher gear and spending an inning behind the plate! There is (thankfully) an hour and a half time limit on the games, so they only played three innings for their first game. Hopefully as the season goes on and the kids are better able to hit the ball, they can finish more innings! For now, they sure are having fun and learning!
