April 4

The Freshman Dons played a doubleheader at home today against Cal High. The two-game days are always kind of brutal, especially when the sun is shining without the benefit of ray-busting cloud-cover, but it's still fun to be out there cheering on our boys.

In the end, they came away with a win and a loss. Brady started the first game in right field and went 1 for 3 with a nice double down the right field line. In game two --which featured a very different lineup, since they have a 22-man roster-- he came in at the top of the 7th and pitched a scoreless inning. 

All in all, a solid day of work. And a decent outcome against a good team.

This is a pic of some of the boys that one of the parents suggested we snap after game two. (Brady is third from the right.) We've definitely been on some teams that had an unfavorable vibe, but I'm grateful to say that this is definitely not one of them. The smiles are on their faces here are real, because they genuinely like playing together. So for that not-small blessing, I am thankful.
