Third Baseman

Jonathan has been doing an awesome job playing 3rd base for the BOMBERS. He is really beginning to grasp the concept of the game of baseball a whole lot better. The ball hardly ever makes it past Jonathan, and then he is understanding where to make the play.

This past Tuesday night, we finally won our first game. We have a very young team. Only 3 of them are 6 years old, and the rest are tiny 4 and 5 year olds. For many of them, this is their first year to step foot on a baseball diamond. We have been playing teams of mostly 6 year old kids, and we've been getting spanked. With much hard work and practice, our team has greatly improved. This game we won was against a team with lots of young, 1st year players also; so it was a more even match. Our boys have started hitting the ball on offense and getting outs on defense, making for much more enjoyable games to play and watch.

Anyway, this is a blurry picture of Jonathan on 3rd base. It's hard to get good pictures through the fence at night. He will be having an earlier game later this season, so I'll get some good shots then and share them.
