Cole Baseball

Isn't this a great picture through the fence! I asked Syd to take a picture of Cole batting and that she needed to get up tight to the fence and take it through the slot. Hey, at least it focused in on Cole and not the fence. Cole has played 3 games a week for the past 4 weeks. I have taken very few pictures because when I take out the camera Cole asks me to put it away. So I do because I don't want to make him nervous when he is up to bat. 2 weeks ago during a game aginst Barlow High he took a pitch in the ribs. OUCH! It left the perfect imprint of the ball including the threads on his side. He got to take his base and stole each base all the way home. He scored the only run for Gresham that game. They played in Hood River on April 7th. The town has actually grown in population since Steven lived there back in '86.
Another picture through the fence line by Syd. Cole hit a nice bunt and ran to first base before they even got to the ball. This was during an away game against Sandy High School. Gresham won 6 to 4. Cole played left field and made 2 amazing catches.

We lucked out at this game and did not get rained on. It was sure cold though.
Sydnee and Presley all bundled up and it is April 30th! You would think by now we could be shedding the blankets and heavy jackets.
Cole is the fastest runner on the team, so when one of the pitchers gets on base Cole is the designated runner for them. He has safely stole every base thus far. There is only 3 weeks left of their baseball season. Fingers crossed they get to play today. We have had a mixed bag of weather... hail, heavy rain, sun breaks and high winds 20+ MPH. Game is in Canby, they tend to have better weather down there. I hope so.
