Fury Baseball

Baseball season is over.  Until February!  The Fury wrapped up their season yesterday.  They have come such a long way in a really short time.  After only a few tournaments this fall, they won in Triple Creek and got bumped up to AAA baseball.  The competition got a little more stout, but these kids hung in there every time.

Jackson has loved learning third base and short stop. 

We also got a new kid who is one heckuva catcher--J especially likes when he pitches to Connor.

This girl has been a really good sport on always cheering for her big brother. 
It amazes me how much she has absorbed about baseball, too!

We loved getting to play at Big League Dreams in Mansfield.

Even with the ball coming in so close, the kid still didn't slide!  Thank goodness he was safe!

Gigi was a HUGE help with Cameron this season.  She usually ran back and forth between me and her Gigi.  That smile says it all--she adores her.  I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual.

 

 

All of us enjoyed watching Jackson improve this season as a pitcher.  He handled the pressure so well and did his job on the mound, showing his coaches and teammates that they could always count on him.

The kid can bring the heat!

I love watching this boy play his favorite sport.  Love it.  We were still in Mexico this Saturday for the first two games of the State Tournament.  He never pitches on Saturday, though, so he told me it wasn't a big deal.  But alas, his coach changed his mind and Jackson was the starting pitcher for the first game.  We were getting game updates as we were packing to come home and I actually had tears in my eyes because I couldn't stand not being there for him.  He did awesome, holding the team to one run, though! 

 

The Fury boys won that game and I got this picture as we were almost to the airport. 
Jackson's smile is so big--he was pumped and so were we! 

The boys lost early on Sunday and that was the end of their season. It's been full of ups and downs and we really love the families who we have gotten to know.  So many great people and fantastic coaches, too!  We will be ready to play ball again his spring, but I will enjoy my Friday nights and weekends doing other things until then!
