A Cold Day For Ball Games...

Well, Brianna's soccer game was cancelled in the morning because it was too cold and wet from all the rain on Friday. Zach's games were rescheduled from morning to afternoon, but it was still cold and windy! I did manage to get a sunburn (or is it a windburn???) on my nose and cheeks! I look like a racoon because I had sunglasses on!!

Zach's first game was at 1:00 against the DevilRays... it was extremely cold and windy! Brianna and I were bundled up in hooded sweatshirts, coats and blankets! The wind blew so hard sometimes that when the kids hit the ball during the game, the ball almost looked like it was floating in the air! Zach hit a grounder towards 1st base and got out his first time at bat, but then he got walks the next two times. The Phillies (Zach's team) won this game 8-0.

The next game was right after the first one. We played against the Orioles and changed fields, so the wind was blowing in a different direction. It was still cold, but it didn't seem as cold as the first game. This game was also A LOT more exciting to watch!! Zach struck out his first two times up to bat, but the third time, he connected with the ball and hit all the way out to the fence!! We thought it was going to go over the fence and be a homerun, but it dropped just in front of it. He got a double out of this! He did get to bat one more time after this, and he got a walk. He also pitched one inning at the end of the game and got two strikeouts. This game was a close one, but the Phillies ended up losing 9-8.

The next game is Wednesday night... stay tuned!!
