Shanda and I were both very pleased with the progress each boy made this year with their baseball teams. Each made leaps and bounds on their hitting, throwing, catching, and understanding of the game. Joseph's team ended up taking 3rd place in a very competitive division. It was sort of a hearbreaker as they ended up forfeiting the 2nd place/3rd place game due to lack of players. Regardless, the quality of baseball improved dramatically over the season as the pitchers started finding the strike zone and the boys started swinging the bats.
Matthew's team was probably the "most improved team." We had the opportunity to play under Coach Homer Purdy, my neighbor. He did a fantastic job with the boys and I was fortunate enough to be the assistant coach.
Andrew's team was essentially unchanged from last year which allowed the players to come together even more. Andrew is quite the athelete, and I think he get's a leg up from watching his older brother's play the game.
Here are some shots from this year's season.
