SWING BATTER BATTER SWING

We have just finished our All-Star Baseball Tournement that was held in Midland this year.
John Paul made the 10-11 age All-Stars, Brandon was too young to make it this year, however; he is our little All-Star he had one heck of a game in the Stanton Tournement. This little team came up through the loosers bracket and ended up having to play 3 games starting at 7:15 am Saturday morning and ended the day at 10:45 pm game that had gone into 3 extra innings trying to beat the undefeated team. As we had eaten everything out of the concession stand, (Hannah making great friends with them all and making sure I spent every dime in my pocket) I was along with everyother mom excited to see the game finally come to a close. We were very proud to be taking a 2nd place trophy home over having to start another game at 11:00 at night. Brandon pitched those 3 extra innings to keep tying up the inning. Great Game B. Joe played his 2nd year of C-Ball which they used the machine this year. He was a catcher and did a great job. He was actually hitting better this year and we saw great improvement. John Paul like I said made his 2nd year at All-Stars. He didn't get to pitch or catch which is where he loves to play. We won't go there as far as that goes, but he was placed in the out field at center and left and did a fantastic job. He caught many of balls hit out into the out field. In this age group and from here on out that is where the action is. I am so proud of him. He always plays wherever they put him and has yet not failed the position. They think they can hold him back by placing him in out in the positions that he might make an error, but he proves them wrong. So in the tournement after he had a great play, they put him where he couldn't do anything and that was the BENCH. Politics I tell you are great. But my children are growing and learning that life doesn't always give you what you want, so make the best of what is given and don't let anything hold you back. I am so proud of my boys. I enjoy every living breathing moment of watching them excel. Great SEASON Contreras' Boys Mom Luvs you
