This was Jace's first year in Machine Pitch baseball. He was a little discouraged in the beginning because he wasn't very good at hitting the ball, even catching the ball. But after a little practice, he started hitting and making it to the bases. This excited him a great deal! He ended up getting the game ball after having two hits during one game. After this he looked forward to going to baseball, and asked if he could be the catcher. So since they only had one other catcher for the team, the coaches were very happy to have him do it. They even let him borrow the catcher's gear to practice with. He was super excited about it. And as time went on he got even better. He hates playing all the other positions, he just gets so bored. He says he wants to catch again next year! It was always funny to watch when he was the catcher, because he had to wear a cup, and he made it very well known that he was wearing it! At times he would leave it on while he was batting and it was funny to watch him run to the bases with it on. Or he would just pull it out and wave it around before batting.
During the season, he got invited to a birthday party with a friend of his. I think it was him and one other boy that went to this special birthday party to the TinCaps baseball game. They went to a late game, so they got to see fireworks, and before the fireworks started they allowed the kids to run the bases. They had so much fun and really spoiled them! I'm a little worried when Grandma takes him to their special game they will be going to hear soon. I'm hoping he's not expecting all that. He really seems to enjoy baseball now, so I think he'll enjoy it with my mom. She got tickets behind the catcher. So that should be special!
