Our Weekend in Pictures - Post #3 of 4

These four pictures are of Harrison's baseball game this past friday night. He's playing in the National Division of the PONY baseball league in Irvine, which is a higher, more competitive level of play. Of the approximate 140 kids in his age division, 40 kids are in the Nationals (4 teams of 10) and just play against each other and the other kids are in the American League and play against each other. All of the kids in Nationals play travel baseball as well and are all very good. Harrison is holding his own, although there are definitely kids better than him on his team. It's good for him because he was in the American League last year and was clearly one of the best, but it's not as competitive and you find kids who haven't played before so it's harder to play together as a team. He plays catcher, although he's used to being the "first string" catcher and on this team he's "second string." He also plays 3rd base and left or right field. His batting has been really good lately and he has had some great hits lately, some of which got him to first, one of which got him to second and quite a few of which were caught in the field, but that's the way it goes! He loves it, in any case, and he has 2 games and 2 practices a week so it keeps him quite busy. He'll probably return to club baseball in the summer when this season ends.
