July 9

These guys played two games today in Danville, notching a 3-6 loss followed by a 22-7 (yep, 22) win.

(Lest it's hard to tell, Brady is the shadowy figure standing right in front of the tree.)

Brady had an okay day as far as his play went; he had some success in the field and some at the plate. But the biggest deal was that he got to pitch at the end of the game. He's been itching to stand on the mound again for quite a long while now, but wasn't given the opportunity this spring. (Or, for the most part, last season, either.) So he was delighted to get the nod. And then he proved he deserved the opportunity because he struck out the two batters he faced. He did a little fist pump when the final strike was called and scampered to the dugout for the post-game huddle with the biggest grin on his face.

It is such a gift to see my kids shine.
