They played 3 innings, consisting of each player at bat one time. The boys rotated to 3 different field positions. David played short stop, first base and then center right field.
No score was kept - everyone on base was cheered on to run home after the last batter hit. I suppose to build up the boys' confidence, the batting Tee was used everytime for every player this game. Honestly, I think David hits better with a pitch, but he did just fine.
At the end of the game, the coach gave a brief congratulatory huddle (and all important snack) and gave out 2 game balls - one for best offensive play and one for defensive play. David received the ball for best defense. While playing center right outfield in the last inning, he caught a ball that quickly bounced his direction. Yeah, David, #6!!
There are many pictures here because I just can't narrow it down. Enjoy!
