weak end

Will’s team broke out and won two Saturday, beating teams they should beat. Will did OK at the plate…BB, line drive single, HBP, sac bunt…but also 2 weak grounders and a popup. Batted sixth.

Audie, the new leadoff hitter, had his worst day of the year, striking out 4 times. He told his dad he didn’t like batting leadoff, but perhaps he was somewhere else…he forgot his cap. Will wasn’t wearing his numbered undershirt.

Will was involved in three double plays playing SS. Also played half of one game at second. His error was on a tough backhand play in the hole…he still came close to throwing out the batter.

Made two glaring mistakes had nothing to do with hitting…his walk placed runners on first & third with two out, and a weak throwing catcher. They’ll give him second base, but Will took a huge lead…and the pitcher picked him off before throwing another pitch.

After the HBP a grounder got past the SS. Will rounded second and headed to third. Expecting a close play, he slid headfirst into third…missing the third base coach waving him home. The CF had also booted the ball. Will did score on a WP.

After being out in the heat all day, also cleaning out the garage a little, Matthew and I went for a refreshing swim Saturday night. Friday night everyone was gone, so Matthew and I went to Moes, and rented Paul Blart Mall Cop…kinda funny.

After NP Sunday (good story about a Porsche) Will and Matthew went to Macon with me. Will drove to Southlake Mall before tiring…he and Matthew slept the rest of the way. Matthew helped my mom sort pictures. Will cut the entire huge yard, and I spent the entire time pulling grass and trimming hedges. Then we dragged four big dumpster loads of trimmings to the woods. Ate at Moes in McDonough on the way back…we were all famished, it was good. Got back and took Anna and Matthew swimming from 9:15 to 10 pm…Anna swam 50 laps (the short way).

Tonight Ceil and I are supposed to look at our finances. She’s been painting the TV area. Had my head in my work…tons to do…perhaps I’m making progress. Tough loss yesterday…I missed it.
