Caleb had an undefeated baseball season. It's been so fun! Unfortunately during play-offs, his team struggled a bit and they didn't pull out the win. Some of Caleb's highlights in the season (youngest on his team):
1) 3 bunts (one of the few kids that actually did it successfully out of the entire league), one bunt was an in-the-park home run due to an overthrow at first base
2) He had 6 hits to the outfield--he played at the top of the line-up all season due to his consistency and had the 2nd highest batting average on his team
3) Outfield play--played shortstop and right field throughout the season. He had 4 fly ball catches, an outfield assist, and threw several competitors out at 1st and 2nd base. He had the highest field percentage on his team.
4) He earned two game balls for two great games that he had
One thing that was neat to watch throughout the season was the improvement in pitching among all the teams. Caleb decided that he wanted to work on his pitching so that he could maybe pitch next year. (Most all the pitchers were the oldest in their age group--eleven-year-olds.) He can do it pretty well but hasn't pitched in a game with the added pressure.
We loved going to his games so we're so bummed that the season is over.
