First Game - Day 2

Elk Grove 10 - Apine 0

Our boys played Alpine Utah today at 3:30 and I am back at the hotel blogging about it at 5:30...nice. Needless to say it was a great game the boys played well and 10 runned Alpine in the 4th inning. It was nice to get out of the heat! Go EG!

The boys played great defensively and worked well together as a team. Aaron started us off at the mound and pitched to first three innings ending his time on the mound with no hits. The no hits are partly due to the great job in the field just to mention a few Mychael turned at nice double play and Jordan Yu had a great catch in right, great job Aaron. Spencer & Zack shared the catching position today and both did OUTSTANDING! Nothing got by them and wow all that gear on and the heat...yikes, great job. Aaron and KB worked a great pick off together, good job guys.

Not only did the boys play well defensively but they hit the ball well today! Shaq hit a bomb single that gave him 2 RBI's, Clayton's hit with an RBI gave us our first score in the game. KB hit a nice double to the fence and a single and Peyton also had a 2 RBI double. I feel the need here to mention what an OUTSTANDING job our bat boy Caeden Zamora did today. He worked really hard out in the heat. The boys all hit really well a few more to mention are Zack who had 2 RBI's and Aaron who hit a double with 1 RBI. I am sure there are more I missed...I am just learning how to remember all this stuff for the blog.

Mychael pitched along with Jordan closing the game on the mound for us. They did a great job pitching. JD and Bryant shared the left field and didn't get any action out there...but we are confident when you are there and know it's just a matter of time. Great job guys...way to be a team.

One final thing to mention...Today we have a birthday! One of our boys turned 13 today!

Happy Birthday Clayton!!

Clayton spent his birthday with us...playing an excellent game of baseball today. We are all going over to celebrate with him tonight at 7:30. Happy Birthday Clayton.

We have tomorrow off we are going to spend the day together having some fun and just hanging out and letting the boys be boys! We play again wednesday.

WAIT I have one more thing to mention....A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Dan Hughes at HSS Hughes Silk Screening for pulling together a quick and AWESOME order for us to get our boys outfitted in amazing new uniform shirts. Another thank you to Dorthoy for making it all happen...she gives all the credit to the boys for working hard...but I give her some of the credit. Thank you again to Dan and Dorthoy for outfitting our boys just right!!
