Grif has been playing competitive baseball over the past 8 weeks or so. He is on a great little team with some of his good friends. They play 2 games a week and have participated in 4 tournaments, which have been played on the weekends. This is his first year of "kid-pitch" so it has been a little bit of an adjustment! There have been plenty of batters getting hit by wild pitches and the innings tend to be REALLY long, since this age is just learning to pitch! But overall, he has LOVED the season and grown so much. Their team is 8-4 in season play and yesterday they finished 4th in a tournament.
He has played many different positions on defense, his favorite is 2nd base. He has also pitched and has done really well there, as well. He is a smart baserunner and loves stealing bases! We are proud of him for his efforts this season. It has been really fun to watch him become a better player this year.
Boston, of course, just follows his brothers around to all of their ballgames.... he has made friends with other "little brothers" of Grif's team so they have fun entertaining each other during the games. Here are a couple pictures of them:
