Opening Day!

We had warm weather and overcast skies for little league's Opening Day 2018!
 Mitch and his team ran in to their introduction.
 This kid was tired and barely cracked a smile.
 Shan was so excited to wear her new cleats and be introduced.
 She, too, was tired after spending the night with Avery at Johnsons'.
 Steven Smith requested Mitchell to catch for him as he threw out the first pitch. Has the man crush extended to a 3rd generation?!? Notice Mitch gave him a sign! He caught the ball, too, in spite of it clearly being a ball.
 Mitch and Coach Fronsman with Steven Smith.
 Mitchell's team had a double header to start things off. They hit the ball really well and were fun to watch.
Mitch will tell you that they won both games - and he hit 2 HRs!
 
Meanwhile, Shannon worked on her throwing and catching with her dad in the outfield. She's getting lots better! Having Bryan there with us for the day was a bonus - he opted not to go to a district baseball game in E'burg and we were happy to have him!
 Shannon was 3 for 3 and very focused at the plate!
  Mitch and Cale helped coach 3rd for the first inning and congratulated Shan on her baserunning prowess!
She does NOT get into the herd of kids chasing the dribble hits in the infield. Her ready position gets lots of practice!
 Dave and Vicki, Kim and Rachel and Avery came to watch. So did Ms. Watson, which made Shannon so happy!
 Here's to a grand month of May with baseball galore!
