Fishing, Game, Party, Game

Friday I went fishing with my dad and nephew. I ended my streak of catching my limit at Roaring River by only catching three fish. My dad caught four but my nephew didn't catch any. The water was murky so that limited my skills as a professed sight fisherman. It was really great being able to fish again with my dad who has been wandering the globe. Also if you are reading this I wanted to tell you all how proud I am of my nephew. He was baptized at the beginning of April and he is growing up to be an awesome kid!

The first Softball game we played on Saturday morning we won 14-7. I went 1 for 4 at the plate with 1 single, and 2 runs scored. I didn't have a single ball hit to me.

The party went great. Amanda worked really hard and made some pretty awesome cakes. When I get the picks I'll post them on here. She put a lot of time and energy in to making sure our little girl had a very special day. It was also Amanda's birthday but just like in so many other instances, Amanda generally always puts others above herself.

The second softball game was my first co-ed softball game of the year. Our two co-ed church teams were playing each other. We lost by a bunch but I had fun. I went 2 for 2 with 2 singles, 2 RBI's and 2 runs scored. I didn't have any balls hit to me during this game either so my favorite part of the game is defense so it was pretty quiet for me out in the field on Saturday.

So for those of you keeping track I am 10 for 14 on the year. Batting .714 with 6 singles, 1 double, 3 triples, 0 inside the park homeruns, 0 out of the park homeruns, 1 walk, 5 RBI's, 10 runs, and 0 stolen bases. I am also 2 for 2 in the field with a fielding percentage of 1.000.

Totals since April 1st 2006 (not including 2008 tourney)-I am 172 for 267. Batting .644 with 122 singles, 26 doubles, 19 triples, 4 inside the park homeruns, 2 out of the park homerun, 8 walks, 101 RBI's, at least 117 runs, and 1 stolen base. I am also 191 of 208 in the field with a fielding percentage of .918.

The Season Begins

Last night was the start to my 2009 softball season. We have been rained out the first 2 weeks but last night was a blast. Abi was awesome as she was there cheering for her Daddy! The first game we won 19-4. This is pretty awesome considering we lost the second place game in the tournament last September, 2 to 1. So we have found our bats again. In this game I went 4 for 5 with 2 singles, 1 double, and 1 triple. I had 1 RBI and 3 runs scored. I also had one putout in the game.

The second game we lost 16-17 and I was thrown out at the plate to end the game...I thought I was safe...but I felt really bad because Neil was getting ready to hit and he probably would have drove me home...Sorry Neil...In this game I went 3 for 3 with 2 triples, 1 single, and 1 walk. I had 2 RBI's and 3 runs scored. I also had 1 putout in the field.

So for those of you keeping track I am 7 for 8 on the year. Batting .875 with 3 singles, 1 double, 3 triples, 0 inside the park homeruns, 0 out of the park homerun, 1 walk, 3 RBI's, 6 runs, and 0 stolen bases. I am also 2 for 2 in the field with a fielding percentage of 1.000.

Totals since April 1st 2006 (not including 2008 tourney)-I am 169 for 261. Batting .648 with 119 singles, 26 doubles, 19 triples, 4 inside the park homeruns, 2 out of the park homerun, 8 walks, 99 RBI's, at least 113 runs, and 1 stolen base. I am also 191 of 208 in the field with a fielding percentage of .918.

This weekend is filled with fishing, softball, and also with the big B-Day Party. It is going to be AWESOME! I am looking forward to seeing mom, dad, Noah and Saige!
