Decided to make the switch to Shutterfly, so, the videos are all over there. Three of Matthew and one of Christopher

Went 1-1 on Saturday (so, looks like we’re about the average-most team out there!). Christopher just had a horrible day at the plate Friday and Saturday…has completely changed how he’s swinging at the ball and it looks like he’s golfing and, well, he struck out more often than not.
Matthew, on the other hand, was just hitting the ball everywhere and was a little maniac on the basepads. Slid into third (safe!), slid into second (out….but looked good doing it!), beat the tag at second, but, overran the bag, so, heads up, didn’t head back to the base (where he would have been out) but took off for third!
Also had a good play in the field….they make sure to drill into the guy who’s playing pitcher that if it’s a short ball, and there’s a force out at home, to run home with the ball and tag the plate. Never really have had this happen for our team, but, finally, it did, with Matthew at pitcher. He fields it, and realizes he’s not going to beat the kid coming from third, so throws it home, and, well, if the catcher had caught it, we’d have had an out. But heads up realizing he wasn’t going to make it the one way…a lot of kids get brain lock when the first option doesn’t work out….
