Hayden had his first pitching machine game this season on Monday night. He was really worried about it because he thought that his team might get beat really bad. It was not that bad. They did lose but the score was 6 -4. (Hayden thinks it was 6 -5 and we just go with that). He scored 2 of the runs his team scored. He got on base both times he batted. (They have a time limit on the instructional league games so they only get to bat a few times) He played shortstop. That position is not his position of choice but he did well. The first inning he had a tough time not going after the third baseman's plays too but he got better after that. He got a single first at bat. The second time he got an infield single but then there were two throwing errors and he made it to third with some pretty serious base running. (He says it was a triple and when you are six why should anyone disagree. We go with it and it makes him smile a lot.) Enjoy the photos!
1st at bat. Can you tell he really thinks he is as big as "his" ballplayers? He mimics all their moves.
Taking off for 1st base
Waiting to take off running....would really love to try to steal but they don't allow that in instructional league
Waiting to go back in the field. (the blue is growing on me)
In the ready position.... Hayden did not get his favorite number this year. "8" was on a large jersey and well he is not that big yet......
Going after the ball....
More as the season continues..............
Hayden has standardized tests at school tomorrow so we are off to bath, bedtime stories and bed.............
