Middle School Matchup

Every fall Jackson gets one weekend to play baseball with his classmates.  It's a cool tournament and he enjoys the chance to play one of his favorite sports with these boys.  This year it turned really cold right before the Friday night game!

Pre-game pep talk with his dad.  The Murphy Mavericks played really well together that night and beat both of their opponents handily.

Jared, Warren, Shelley and I all enjoyed the games (and hot chocolate!), and loved cheering for this cute kiddo.


The next day, the boys got to play at the fields across the street from my parents.  Amazing! They have never played at any fields this close and we all were thrilled about it.

Gigi made the rounds that day, first going to watch Lila play some soccer, and then coming by to see Jackson play baseball. 
He did so good, too!  He batted 3rd in the lineup...


and went 4 for 4 at the plate.  He hit two doubles and was just on fire! 


He also played short stop and didn't let anything by him.

He was a stud, despite his baseball pants being a bit too short!  Oops.

Despite his team playing so well the night before, a lot of them just didn't have it on Sunday.   Bummer.

The boys went home much earlier than anyone expected, but I guess that's just how baseball goes sometimes.  He still loved playing with his buddies, though.
