The boys got their last game until next week in last night under a threatening sky. The game was looking like it would need to be postponed but we got it in, just before dark. Sam is still on a hitting tear with 1st and 4th inning triples, as well as a couple stolen runs after a couple pitches got past the catcher. He's 800 for the last two games with a HR, double, and the two triples. I love that he is listening to the coach and swinging the bat much better than earlier in the season. Dylan is swinging better as well but not connecting with that many. He is however walking a bunch. He seems to have a pretty good eye and doesn't swing at things over his head which is a flaw many kids have. He almost always scores when he's on base because of his speed so that's a good thing.

The Iron Birds won again last night and are in first place (6-2-2) going into the much needed Memorial Day Weekend break. The break is much needed for Nicole and my nerves since the boys would probably play everyday if they could. It's a little more nerve racking for the parents in the stands but we have some really good and positive parents on our team. No "take it too seriously" kind of folk but let's face it, we are all tied up inside wanting them to do well.

No big plans for the long weekend, just hitting the pool and finding things to do close by. Should be relaxing.
