Sunrise Invitational 2010 - Can You Say Second Place?
Ok, so testing for black belt this weekend just wasn't enough. Grayson's baseball team had the end of the year Sunrise Invitational Tournament. We kept him out of the games due to scheduling conflicts with the testing and precautionary reasons. This evening the Portland Little League Royals were playing for all the marbles... but came up just a little bit short. Second place is still a great way to end the season.
Grayson got up to bat three times and made it safely to base twice and scored a run. In the third inning it appeared that his body had just about enough for the weekend between belt testing and baseball so coach Guy sat him down for the rest of the game. (Thanks to coach Guy for being an awesome coach and providing the best environment for these kids this entire year!)
Here are some pictures from a very fun tournament...
Here is a picture of the team angel Georgia... She is my favorite :)
These boys played their hearts out and all deserve a big congratulations on playing great baseball, having an awesome attitude, and being all around great kids! Good Job Royals!

SAFE!
After playing, coaching, or umping for the last 35 years I have had the joy of seeing a lot of really exciting games. Today was no exception...
Grayson's team, The Portland Royals, were tied going into the bottom of the sixth inning. There were runners on 2nd and 3rd and the count was full with two outs on the hitter. The runner on third stole home and the play was made... I was the plate umpire so I was in no rush to make the call until I could see all the angles... once the dust settled I saw the ball rolling slowing out of the catchers glove and into the front of the plate. SAFE! The opponent slowly walked off and the winning Royals cheered for their victory, and all that was left when the teams left the field was the infamous dropped ball!
This was a great game and I would have to say it was even more awesome that I was able to be behind the plate to see it from the best seat in the house.
Great job Portland LL Royals for another amazing win!

Another Baseball Shot
We had a practice in the pouring rain a few weeks back. I love the expression on Grayson's face as I am trying to discuss the fine art of making a routine cut off.
Look at all of the mud he has acquired... a kid's dream day! Baseball, mud, and hanging out with dad... ok, maybe a dad's dream day. Either way it sure is fun!
