Opening Day!

Had our first NC Mechanical game today. Nice weather for it. Upper 60's w/ some sun.

We had two tough innings & one really good one which added up to a 10-5 loss. Almost all the kids seemed to have fun. Am looking forward to our next game.

APD had an amazing inning of pitching in which he struck out the side on maybe 12 pitches. He throws strikes. Since he's a lefty w/ long unkempt hair, KMD has started calling him the "Little Unit" after Randy Johnson. Batting he had a K w/ a BB and a run scored. He's a gutty kid.

He's having a pretty good stretch because he won his HeroClix tournament this morning & he had a really fun sleepover last night in which he stayed up to 1:30a w/ friends. I told him he had to stay up past 1am from now on on game nights ... sort of a reverse curfew.

Hey, that's a great effort by Alex! Congrats to him. Here's hoping the unkempt hair is the closest he comes to looking like the Big Unit.

What's the update on softball?

I hope that he has a fun year. Sounds like he's off to a good start. Changing speeds also works wonders and adds no stress to his elbow.
