Weekly Little League Update

 Here is the weekly little league report.

Tuesday Mariners vs Cardinals (worst team in the league) 0-13. 

Really! Can you tell the whole team was apparently having a bad night, the freezing cold and rain didn't help much. Tanner didn't hit, couldn't throw, couldn't catch it was the worst game I have ever seen him play, and the rest of his team was playing the same way he was. Wow! bad bad night

Thursday Mariners vs Red Sox (best team in the league) 11-4

Seriously! How does that happen? You lose to the worst and win the best. I guess that's baseball right. Tanner caught for most of the game and pitched the last 3 innings. He had 8 strikeouts and only let one kid even touch first base in those three innings. He hit too, and got on base twice. This was a much much better game to watch :) Landon keeps stats online and sometimes they are fun to look at. Here they are for Thursday's pitching...

After the game we took Tanner to get a frozen yogurt-his fave, he got really sick and didn't even eat it. He started having the chills and was running a fever. The flu has been going around his class, so I guess he finally caught it. He is supposed to play in a ball tournament this weekend, but this morning he is still on the couch asleep and not doing so well, so we'll see how he is feeling after a bit. Maybe he can at least play in the games tomorrow.
