Dixie Debut

Tanner was extended the opportunity to start practicing with the Dixie High School baseball team. He was super excited. As part of this he has also become part of the Dixie team which is kind of like the 8th Grade or Freshmen team. They participate in tournaments and stuff in the off season. Tanner decided that he would rather be on this team so he is no longer playing with the Gators. This last weekend was Tanner's first time playing with Dixie. They didn't have a younger team in this tournament so Tanner ended up playing 16U with the older boys. We think he did great, for playing 3 years ahead of his age group. On Friday he didn't strike out once, although he did get out on base a few times. His first time at the plate he got hit-how is that for luck-lol. Saturday he struck out but the kid pitching was probably seriously throwing at least 80. Tanner also got quite a bit of time in the field-so it was good experience. We weren't sure if he would really get to play at all since he was the youngest and newest on the team. Love Baseball. Love our Boy.
