I have been coaching Gehrig’s little leage team this year. We put Gehrig & Brigham on the same team and Cade has been coaching with me. It’s been a fun season. It is machine pitch. It is a bit more competative than t-ball becase the kids can strike out and get runners out in the field, but there is a limit of 5 runs per inning, everybody bats, & you can have four outfielders. We have 13 kids on our team and the fewest we have ever had for a game is 12. Generally all the kids show up. I think we have done a good job teaching them to love the game and have fun.

We didn’t keep track of wins & losses during the season. But today we started our tournament. There are 26 teams in this league. They put the bracket together randomly. It was fun to make things a bit more competative tonight. We won the game and the kids & parents were really excited. Now we play again tomorrow. We had some comments on how much the kids have improved. I totally agree. We have come a long way. I don’t expect us to win the tournament because we have played much bigger teams, but I’m proud of the improvement the team has made this year.
