July 25

There was (surprise!) more baseball this evening, as Brady's team competed in the quarterfinal game of their current tournament in Dublin.

All 12 boys were on hand for the affair, and they played a good one that ultimately eliminated their opponent by a final score of 4-0.

Brady was in a good mood as we headed back to the car afterward. I'm thankful that even when he doesn't notch a hit, he's still happy when his team performs well. It's a team sport, after all, and I'm grateful that he knows that individual stats don't matter as much as playing a good, ethical game.
