The Mueller Park Little League baseball fields are just a hop, skip, and a jump from our home. If you love baseball like I do, there is something special about the hometown baseball fields. Ben enjoys spending time at the fields even when he isn't playing. He gathers with friends to watch each other's baseball games, hang out at the snack shack, assist with announcing, or congregate with the fans. Hopefully, mischief is minimal.
Baseball if such a fun game, but it can be intense. In recreational baseball, exceptional, good, bad, and mediocre games are inevitable. You have to endure the good, the bad, and the down right ugly.
Friday night Ben had a great game. Ben pitched the first 3 innings. The first 2 innings, there were three batters up, and three batters out. He struck them all out. The third inning, he walked two, and struck the rest out. One walk was a good friend of his, a few smilies were exchanged as they went head to head. He had a good game at the plate too, with one hit to the fence; one walk; and one grounder.
The Cub's (Ben's team) played a completely different game tonight than last night. Thursday night was hard to endure with a loss against the DBacks. Friday night the entire team was playing well. They had a great win against the Cardinals.
What a fun night at the ballpark! Way to go Cubs!
