Bat-A-Thon

Braedyn had bat-a-thon awards this morning at Cedar Ridge H.S baseball field. Last year was great, as their team had won the field of dreams trip through their fundraising and being the team with the highest batting score. They got to take the field with the Durham Bulls, go to BP and meet the players...That was an 8 year old's dream! This year we didn't get that trip but they did a great job at hitting!
Braedyn got asked to be on an All-Star team for the week of the "World Series" so practice is today and it is the only practice. The coaches of the HYAA teams pick the best players from current spring league teams to be chosen for this All Star team and they can't be playing travel ball. So since Braedyn isn't playing travel ball, I said he could do this since it was a privilege to get chosen. He has played four seasons and this is the first time he has been chosen. He is excited. They play a game every night starting Monday ending Friday. At least that is all we have going on and we don't have to worry about school. Then we are done with competitive baseball for awhile. His tryouts for his fall league are in August and I hope that goes smoothly for him.  That baseball team is a travel team too so I have a feeling between travel baseball and travel hockey in the fall I am hoping to meet some parents I can carpool with. It could get interesting!
