We were actually betting that Tyler might get nervous and want to get out there and bat in front of all the people. He completely surprised me...He got up there and batted during each inning. He connected with the ball 3 times, I don't even care that he fouled out and struck out...I was just so pleased he hit it! Then every time when he would strike out and have to walk back to the dug out - he never had a pouty face on, he came back with a smile. I couldn't have been more proud of him (I am not telling you how he would take breaks in left field and sit down and rest, ha ha).
Tyson was a great little team player. He was right field and saw zero action....BUT he was always in ready position and hustled to and from the dug out. He struck out the first two innings and then his last inning he actually hit the ball AND made it to first base! What the what?! Super proud. There was only one batter after him and he struck out so he never made it past first base, but I don't care. Very proud!
Eli got to play this one game on their team as well. They had two players gone so we dressed him up in someone else's uniform and he played catcher for the first time. He hated it. Never done it before and I am pretty sure he doesn't want to do it again either. He might have enjoyed it if he didn't have to wear all that gear at 2pm on a sunny afternoon when its 107 degrees outside. Bless his heart.
We didn't expect much from the twins at this game...after all, Eli used to go out into the outfield and put rocks in his pockets so anything more than that and we hit the jack pot! The boys loved it and can't wait for their next game! Go Dodgers!
