Welp. Son’s 14U team came in 2nd and went 4-1 on weekend. Starting P in 1st game Sunday went out in 1st with back pain so it threw entire rotation off and left team in championship game going with kids that hadn’t pitched much at all. Good game and proud of boys as it was hot as shit in Houston Sunday.
Rough tally for weekend and my son as catcher tallied 7-8 base runners thrown trying to steal 2B, two guys out at 1B on back pick, a guy baited into stealing from 1B and my son ran from catcher spot and froze guy who was already on 2B and then got guy that left 1B out (hard to explain), then got two guys out that were getting cute on 3B doing the whole fake run during pitchers release and then were a little slow getting back to third and got a guy out on a cover from a wild pitch.
All in all like 13-14 outs from behind home plate over 5 games. Just stellar defensive performance by the kid.
On to summer.
