FINALLY! No croup (although he woke up this morning, the day after, coughing!), no broken finger, tournament didn't get cancelled and the team had enough players to play. Bryce Duke made his tournament baseball debut! He's been itching to play in a tournament since he started practicing with this team over the summer. They don't do many tournaments since there aren't too many local ones in the summer and fall, but this one worked out perfectly. Kiki and Papaw Duke were here to watch! It was in Rincon which is about 45 minutes from our house. It was a long day and I was a little worried about him getting tired, but of course he didn't! I think he was nervous for the first game, but after that he was loving it! They played 4 games and we were there from 11am-8:15p. It's going to take me a while to get used to that! Luckily CeCe loves going to practices and now tournaments because of the other siblings there. She had a great day too! I always feel so bad for the siblings of baseball players at these things, but she was on cloud nine having her friends to play with all day. For an October day, it was HOT. 88 degrees and sunny!
Bryce in his Hot Rods uniform, ready to play!
His number one fan! Love that crinkled nose!
It's taken a while for Bryce to 'get' the pitching machine. Weeks would go by at practice and he would only hit a few balls :( He was getting very discouraged but something clicked last week and he got it! He only struck out once yesterday and scored 3 runs!
He played right center field mostly yesterday and did a good job! He looked so cute out there!!!
Short videos of one hit and one run from 3rd to home.
Hopefully there will be another tournament this fall!
