First Weekend of Baseball

We did it! We survived a busy weekend of baseball, and were even quite successful!
Saturday we had a busy start to the day as it kicked off with a majors game (10-12) and a teeball game, then finished off with 2 Juniors games (13-14). I ended up being able to coach the teeball team (although not really planned... :) ) and it was a ton of fun! Most of the kids had only been to 2 practices in their life, so there knowledge of baseball isn't too high, but they had a lot of fun! Teeball rules are everyone on the team hits once in an inning, unless the other team gets 3 outs...turns out that doesn't really ever happen, although the Red Sox were able to get 2 in one inning! The highlights was watching the smallest guy on the team, Barni, hit an inside the infield homerun! I don't think that he knew what a homerun was or how good the play he made was, but he was grinning and excited as much for the high-5 as anything! Overall the team had fun but ended up losing 35ish to 27ish, but the fun of the kids at that age is they didn't care because they were all smiles at the end! The majors team won with a walkoff and the Juniors team swept there two games and played really well! There are a lot of things to work on, but overall it was a really good first game for most of the players!
Sunday, I went with the division 2 team (Pioneers) to Nagykanizsa to play the Ants. It was about a 2 hour drive down past Lake Balaton, and thankfully the weather was extremely nice and a great day for baseball! The games started rough as we were down 6 after a couple innings, but then the team was able to get going and we ended up tying it up with a big inning! They ended up beating us quite badly after that, but it was fun to have some success and keep it close for a while, and apparently its the top team in D-2 and we had a bunch of new players. Overall it was a fun experience though! I was able to play 3rd, and made a few errors (which I blame on the field, at least a little bit... :) ) but it was a fun first game! The Pirates (seniors 15-16) ended up winning their game yesterday too, so overall it was a good first weekend for Erd baseball!
Now it is back to practice today to work on some of the different areas that the teams struggled in, and work towards this coming weekends games!
Please continue to pray that I get my temporary residence card in the mail today or tomorrow, as it will make traveling much easier!
