The Giants vs. The Padres


Ethan as Catcher2

Oh yeah! Ethan's team (the Padres, in case you forgot) had their first game tonight. The game started off strong with a hit right away and then things sorta stalled.

Then the other team scored three runs! Then we scored three runs. That put us at 4-3.

Then Ethan came up to bat. Bases were loaded. He knocked the ball right into centerfield! No one was ready. Two runners came in and Ethan made it almost to third base before they called the inning (in this Little League once there are 4 runs, they end that half of the inning). I have no doubt that Ethan would have made a home run if he was allowed to...would have been a Grand Slam!

He pitched after that and didn't let any runners make it home. He was so proud! Final score: 8-4, Padres.

Opening day parade on Saturday at 0900. And game number 2 at 1530. Too bad I have a wedding to be at!
