Little League

Unexpected family picture!  :)  

 Zack moved up for his first year in majors.  This is Ty's last year in Major's.  Drew is planning on this being his last year in minor's and is going to petition to move up to Major's.  

 Aydon is now a regular at helping with pictures too.  

 Drew was so excited one day at the game, he pulled his own tooth in the middle of Ty & Zack's game so it made both of his front teeth missing.

 Preston loved how when other teams changed pictures, these boys were out there watching and getting practice swings in as they warmed up. 

Ty & Zack's team did really well this year.  They ended the regular season 10-2, tied for 1st place.  The league had set up a top 2 best of 3 series so they played the Pirates and went 1-2 so ended up 2nd in the league.  It was a fun year though.
Ty had a homerun the first game and was so excited!  Ty played 2nd all year and only pictched one game this year since they had some good pitchers on their team.
Zack did pretty good for his first year getting a couple of hits and a few walks.  He had lots of strike outs too but he didn't just stand there, he was at least trying to hit and we like that he tried.  He split his time between left and right field for 2 innings a game most times.
Drew's team did surprisingly well this year.  They also finished 10-2 with the two losses being very close games.  Drew also had a homerun the first game and was happy as could be.  He had 3 more homeruns during the season and he loved that he got all 3 outs one in one play in their last game!  It was EXCITING!  He played all over the field.  He was mostly Pitcher, 1st base and catcher.  They started letting the kids do 2 innings of live pitching the second half of the season and he pitched and improved greatly. 

Aydon had his 2nd year in Majors and got to play on Vargas this year on the new field.  There were no team pictures taken and I never did an individual of him besides the one above but I did make sure to ask Joe to grab a team picture after their last game.  Aydon's team started off really strong but their best pitchers all had arm injuries and it all went downhill from there.  Aydon was so happy with his year.  He hit well all season, not striking out until one of the last few games and I think only had 2 stirekeouts the whole season.  He played several places on the field as well, playing infield for the first time ever!  He played first, third and outfield. 
We are looking forward to next year where we should have only one game for the majority of the time and then when Senior league starts that should be 2 different games.  Can't complain too much, it was a nice year that wasn't cold or too terribly windy and Presley did well at all but one game if I remember right.
