FIRST BASEBALL GAME (sort of)!!!!!

Monday night was actually Zachary's first baseball game. But, it was canceled due to rain. The Little League rules are if you see lightning, you have to wait for 30 minutes with no lightning
before you can start playing again. So, Monday's game was completely canceled.

However, today (Friday) was supposed to be the second game, but it was actually the first game that they got to play. We have to arrive 30 minutes before game time. We got there 40 minutes ahead of time and the Coach called Zachary over. He was going to warm up their first pitcher. Go, Zachary! He was so excited. After warming up, they headed to the dugout.

Here is the Coach warming up the first pitcher, Zachary!

Here is the whole team warming up (we are the orange team, "Little Ceasar's" team). It looks like the "pumpkins" are going to play the "bumble bees." At least that is what the spectators were saying.

Notice the face!

What a GREAT arm!

The other team pitched first and we scored one run. Then Zachary's team was up and Zachary was going to pitch. You could see the excitement in his eyes. Then we felt a drop of rain, but said to ourselves, that it wasn't going to rain. Then the lightning flashed through the sky. So, into the dugout they went to wait for 30 minutes of no lightning. A few minutes later, a downpour. We ran to the car and turned on the radio. Sure enough, a tornado warning (not a watch, a warning). Next the city sirens were going off. I guess we weren't meant to get this game in either.

My boy was very disappointed. What a bummer! Two games in one week canceled. What gives! It is supposed to rain all weekend. Sunday we get team pictures taken. Monday is our next scheduled game - we will see if we get it in this time.

If you decide to come watch a game, check out the weather first. It may be canceled due to a tornado, lightning or some other catastrophe.
