take me out to the ball game

Baseball has begun and tonight was Corey's first game. His team is the Mets and he was so excited to finally get started after being delayed a week cause of weather. This is him on first base..waiting to be brought in.
All of Corey's off season hard work has paid off and he is the starting pitcher. He is so pumped about that cause he loves to pitch. He is good at first base as well cause he is a "south paw".
His stats for tonights game were great. He was 4 for 4 at bat....struck out 6 kids in the first two innings...(he only pitched 2 to give another player a try).He has not worn his glasses for three weeks and we think maybe he was having such issues last season cause of his glasses. He could not hit the side of a barn and was swinging too early. Maybe it was time the glasses went in the drawer! That is his buddy Nick on first base!!
This is Corey with the game ball. After each game,a player is awarded the ball for a great play or contribution to the game. Coach Scott is great about handing out praise when it is earned and I am thankful for a coach like that.

Congrats to Corey! Good game! We haven't had much playing time due to all the rain:( Glad to hear it went well and good luck with the rest of the season!
