Our C2 Baseball team ended the year with a World Series here in Houston, TX and man it was hot! I'm not sure how those boys played multiple games every day in that heat but they powered through it. Some of the parents watched the games from an indoor, air conditioned area which was so wonderful and so wrong all at the same time!
The boys really enjoyed the skills competition the first day. Matt got to participate in the team base running with Dylan, Caden and Brian. Then he got to cheer on his teammates in the home run derby, hardest throw and around the horn competition.
The boys started off the tournament a little slow. They faced a few majors teams and fought hard but couldn't pull off a win. Sunday they came alive and played well! I was proud that over the tournament Matt got to play almost every position and did well at all of them. I'm thankful he's had the opportunity to see the game from multiple perspectives and I think he was thankful he didn't have to wear the catchers gear all day in the heat!
A big thank you to these guys for doing such a great job coaching these boys all year. Especially to Dad because well...he's our Dad and is always running around with the kids after coming home from work!
Matt was really excited this summer to go back to baseball camp at ATM. He got to go with Dylan and Caden and they spent a couple of nights in the dorm. We were super excited when we checked in that the boy's coaches were former C2 or San Jac players! The boys had a lot of fun, learned a lot about baseball and had fun playing pranks in the dorm! Caden told his Mom before checking out at the end of camp that she probably shouldn't come up to the room because she might have a heart attack. So I decided not to go and I'm glad I didn't. Doug said he's never seen anything like it! Hopefully they learn to be cleaner before they go off to college!
