April 23

Adam made the remark to me this evening as we awaited the start of Isaac's second game of the day and I'll repeat it here because it's true: there's something so unique about baseball played under the lights.

I don't know what it is exactly, but it feels different. Special. Electric in a way that day games are not. We love watching them play at all hours of the day, but yeah... there's something cool about night games.

Electricity aside, however, none of the games the Wight boys played in today ended with their teams in the win column, but both Isaac and Brady played well. Both of them notched solid defensive plays (both from second base, as it happened -- Brady threw out a runner at the plate, and Isaac went up and snagged a liner that he then fired to first base to complete a double play). And they had one solid hit apiece: a long single for Brady, and a ringing double that rolled all the way to the fence for Isaac. 

And I think they had fun. At the end of the day seeing them find joy in doing something they love even when they don't walk away with a win is a huge blessing to me.
