Baseball 2012

*The week after Spring Break was a bit crazy for all of us. Kai had his first coach pitch baseball game on Monday night. Lance came to the game and then headed back to studying as he later would have his thesis defense on Wednesday and his comprehensive exams on Friday. Needless to say we didn't see much of him all week and are very happy to have made it to the weekend and have all that behind him. So since Lance was using the computer for all his stuff last week I am finally getting around to all of these posts including this one about Kai's first game.

So far Kai seems to like coach pitch. They get 5 pitches from the coach and then if they haven't hit it they get to then hit it off the tee. Kids on the team range in age from 6 1/2-8 so this year he is one of the very youngest and he is the only lefty on this team. On Monday night he got up to bat 3 times and had 3 hits off the coach's pitch which all got him on base. His first time up at bat he actually hit the first pitch which was a good way to start things off. I actually got it and his last at bat on video which I will attempt to post below for the sake of the grandparents and great grandparents. He enjoys being on a team and playing pretty much any sport these days. The games are a little long for some of the other members of our family, but we're glad he is enjoying it.
