BS coached the San Diego Padres this year! It was mostly 9 and 10 year old boys, but Will "played up" as an 8 year old so they could play together! So awesome! Some people think baseball is boring to watch, but we LOVE going to their games and watching them play! I also love watching BS coach the boys - he does a fantastic job. After each game he would give the game ball to one of the boys who had earned it that day. The boys loved this.
In the end, they went into the tournament in 3rd place. The tournament game was on a summer Friday night and we had only 8 boys. The team played a great game despite being short some players...but lost. Oh well, they tried their best!
Sambo is good at and loves to pitch. When he is on, he is ON! He also played short stop, 1st base, and catch. He hit well when he was practicing, but when it came to hitting the ball during a game he struggled. But he managed to get out of his funk at the last few games. In fact, at the play-off game he smacked his first HOME RUN!

Wilbur has improved so much this year! He is good at catching pop fly's and batting. He mostly played short stop, 1st base, and left field. Something he can improve on is running faster. But he was always ready to go and had a pocket full of Sunflower seeds. At first he had an awkward slide, but soon he was sliding in to home base every time. Of course he still always brought some of his money to buy something from the Snack Shack after the game!
