1st Baseball Game Iwas

Today was Ryker's first baseball game.  He's playing in the instructional league here in New Pal.  Robert is helping coach and they've been practicing for a few weeks now.  He is actually liking it pretty well and it having fun with it so we are thrilled.

Our neighbor, Clint, is the head coach and had each player choose their nickname for the season.  Ryker chose Tiger which is my dad's nickname from when he played ball.  

He's such a goof!

We got to choose his number too.  I love their little jerseys.

Saying the Pledge of Allegiance before the game started.

Nana  and Papaw came out to watch.

He got a hit his second time up to bat off the pitcher.  He does well with us at home, but the combination of the pressure of the game and a different pitcher made it harder for him.  I was so excited for him though!  He got tagged out before he got to first, but he was still happy which I loved.

Such a big boy!  He helped push the stroller all the way back to the van after the game. He's a great helper.
