All of our kids played great, given that 7 of the 9 have never played organized baseball. Despite some untimely bathroom breaks, lots of overthrows, a ton of strikeouts, and an opponent that put 5 runs on the board in the bottom of the first inning, Peter, and the rest of the Marlins, gave it a valiant 5 inning effort, but came up just a few(9) runs short of a win.
Peter played catcher and really enjoyed being behind the plate. He did a great job and is starting to really grasp the concepts of the game.
The team was cheered on by the whole family, including some cousins who came out for the night. We look forward to a wonderful season and many more years to come of little league ball.
It was the first game of the first season for this budding little ball player, who when I tucked him into bed tonight and asked what he thought about baseball, he replied, "Dad, it was the funnest thing ever."
P.S. Peter went 2-3 with 2 singles and the teams only RBI. (Run Batted In for those non-baseball fans)

Good job Peter! I hope we can make it to a game and see you play!
Way to go Coach Jer. I am sure the team will learn so much under your patient coaching. How blessed Peter is to have such wonderful family support.
Can't wait to see a game.
