Basebsll is really keeping us hopping.  On Monday, Z played his Championship Game that was initially cancelled because of cold weather.

They played the All Out B Team. It was a tight game, with Z going two for two batting.  He’s finally hitting the ball with some power.  But as I told him, it has to be disclipned power.  The boy likes the high heat but that’s usually a strike out or weakly hit ball.  Thank goodness, he laid off the high heat

As the game came down to the 6th inning, Z took the mound with the score 4-2., with our team winning.  We’ve been working a lot on his pitching mechanics…but they are still pretty raw…so mommy was pretty nervous..this is tougher than playing, lol

The boy was magical.  The first batter hit a pop up to centerfield, which by some miracle was caught.  Z struke down the next two batters with pretty darn good pitches for a 7 year old.  We couldn’t have been prouder of him.  Three up—-Three down, to win the game…and most importantly he wasn’t wild

On the ride home, he said something that made me even prouder.  I had told him on the way to the game to be confident, and at SC, we have a saying, “Act Like You’ve Been There”  And I went on to say it means that no moment is to be to big for you, because you have prepared and have confidence in yourself.

He said, mommy I was a little nervous when Coach said I was pitching, but I remembered you said, Act Like You’ve Been There and I just focused on throwing.   Spoken like a true Trojan!
