On Monday I played one game because I missed the late one to go to Hillcrest Highschool Graduation. I have been in Springfield now for 4 and 1/2 years and this was my first Highschool graduation here. Let's just say that I will be attending graduations now here for a very long time. It is not that I have been purposefully skipping graduations for 4 years. It is that this year was the first year in Springfield where I've had seniors who were consistant. Also a student who I had an opportunity to lead to Christ several years back graduated as well. Congrats to all the seniors out there but especially to the 5 who have been faithfully attending Connection Youth Ministry. Our graduating classes from CYM are only getting bigger from here on out! Hello busy May for the rest of my life! It is so worth it though!
Also I am going on Vacation today. We leave in 10 minutes to go to the hills of New Mexico. We are going with most of our Transformation Group Family (Neil, Julie, Justin and Kimberly). I have been looking forward to this for a long time. I am sure Julie will post some pics in the next couple of weeks before it is said and done. She has been our group historian! Thanks Julie!
So the game on Monday we won 18-11. I went 2-4 with a walk. I had 1 single, 1 triple, 1 walk, 2 RBIs, and 3 runs scored. I caught 2 in the field and threw a runner out at home plate. This game my arm was accurate!
So for those of you keeping track I am 20 for 31 on the year. Batting .645 with 13 singles, 2 doubles, 4 triples, 1 inside the park homerun, 0 out of the park homeruns, 3 walks, 12 RBI's, 18 runs, and 0 stolen bases. I am also 18 for 21 in the field with a fielding percentage of .857.
Totals since April 1st 2006 (not including 2008 tourney)-I am 182 for 284. Batting .641 with 129 singles, 27 doubles, 20 triples, 5 inside the park homeruns, 2 out of the park homerun, 10 walks, 108 RBI's, at least 125 runs, and 1 stolen base. I am also 207 of 227 in the field with a fielding percentage of .912.

Softball update
We played 2 pretty good games on Monday night. The first game we won 12-11 in 8 innings. I went 3 for 4 with a single, double, and an inside the park homerun. I had 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. I caught 6 in the field and threw a runner out at second base. My inside the park homerun in the top of the eighth was the winner!
The second game didn't go so well for us. We lost 15-10 but that is almost like a win for us considering we were playing central assembly. I went 1-3 in the loss with a single, and an RBI. I caught 2 balls in the field but threw 2 balls away.
So for those of you keeping track I am 18 for 27 on the year. Batting .667 with 12 singles, 2 doubles, 3 triples, 1 inside the park homerun, 0 out of the park homeruns, 2 walks, 10 RBI's, 15 runs, and 0 stolen bases. I am also 15 for 18 in the field with a fielding percentage of .833.
Totals since April 1st 2006 (not including 2008 tourney)-I am 180 for 280. Batting .643 with 128 singles, 27 doubles, 19 triples, 5 inside the park homeruns, 2 out of the park homerun, 9 walks, 106 RBI's, at least 122 runs, and 1 stolen base.

Ups, Ups, Ooops, and losses
The past couple of weeks has been pretty amazing. Abi's B-day and Amanda's B-day were very fun this year. I am so amazed how God has blessed me with 2 very awesome girls...well three if you count Rory...to spend my every days with.
We have continued to increase the size of the Student Ministry at First Church. Last week we had 41 students and last night we had 43. To celebrate the first time we reached the 40 student mark I took a dive into our new drainage pond at the church. I will try to attach a vid that one of the students took on her cell phone.
I also got to play a couple game of softball on Monday night. We didn't win either game but we had fun anyways. In both games I went 4 for 6 with 4 singles, 1 walk, 1 RBI, 3 Runs Scored, I went 4 for 5 in the field as I dropped a ball I most definitely should have caught...I guess that is why the MLB scouts passed me up...
So for those of you keeping track I am 14 for 20 on the year. Batting .700 with 10 singles, 1 double, 3 triples, 0 inside the park homeruns, 0 out of the park homeruns, 2 walks, 6 RBI's, 13 runs, and 0 stolen bases. I am also 6 for 7 in the field with a fielding percentage of .857.
Totals since April 1st 2006 (not including 2008 tourney)-I am 176 for 273. Batting .645 with 126 singles, 26 doubles, 19 triples, 4 inside the park homeruns, 2 out of the park homerun, 9 walks, 102 RBI's, at least 120 runs, and 1 stolen base. I am also 195 of 213 in the field with a fielding percentage of .915.
