The boys played hard and are learning important lessons in the sport of baseball.
For the first time- we heard the boys talking to each other. Encouraging each other, giving instructions as to which base was the force... and calling "Hold the ball". The overthrows were minimal this game...and the boys are gaining confidence in their base stealing. I know the score ( 20-6) is discouraging, but I believe we are gaining ground. The boys are figuring out the game.
Way to go Bullets...you played hard, and you did not give up.
That is what makes a
BASEBALL PLAYER!
