One Down, Two To Go

Mitch just finished up a great baseball season!

He and his team had a great year, only loosing once during the regular season.

Last night was a close game and Mitch made the winning hit.

Tonight they came in third in the county tournament. 

Mitch made some great hits to the outfield, with the high-light being a triple.

(His coach kept him at third, but all of us sitting there thought he really could have made it home for a home run. booo hissss  j/k...kinda)

Anyway, we finished up a couple games earlier than we would have liked, but third place is fun too, and the trophy looks great on his dresser.

Hooray for Mitch!  You had a great season!

Down & Derby

The long awaited day has arrived.

Mitch won 2nd in the Wolf division,

and 5th over all!

(Average speed: 207 miles/hour)

Long gone are the days of the wooden race track that starts up on the stage at the church. Ours is done county wide (thank goodness they have a concession stand) and the tracks are hooked up to a computer. You get a lot of info with this technology: MPH,1st/2nd/3rd/4th,time. The good thing about that is that the results and who is racing now & next is projected on the wall. So really you have never have to leave your seat once you get there, unless the chips, donuts, or soda start calling your name. And I think they start calling my kids name when they see our van pull into the parking lot.

It has to be a Derby Dad's dream.

Good job Mitch!
