WOW!

I will have pictures later, but what an amazing Opening Day at FLL. Collin moved up to the 7/8 league this year and is adjusting to playing with the "pitching machine", along with new players. He did a great job and worked well with his team. Although, I didn't see too much of the game because Austin was also playing. Stew helped out coaching with Collin's team and before I knew it the game was over. Collin only had 1 at bat (which I was there for) and then the game was pretty much over.

Austin pitched his first game today on Opening Day and did an AWESOME job. Yes, I said pitched. He has never pitched before but really wanted to this year and was just given the opportunity to a few days ago. He did a good job then, so they used him today. Who would have known he would have done so well. I believe he pitched 3 maybe 3 1/2 innings and allowed only 2 hits. Don't know all the stats, but he completely shined today. Received 1 of the two game balls given out at the end of the game and was beaming from ear to ear. The TEAM won 9 to 2 and had a blast!!

Will add some pics later but wanted to share the great news of Opening Day here at Fruitland Little League. Way to go boys :)
