Coach Pitch Little League Baseball

Saturday, June 21, 2025

When our boys were little, they played for the Rich Pond Rockies in Bowling Green. When our daughter was little she played softball in Richmond. Now our grandson, Carter, has made the seven and under Richmond All-Stars team. They had their first tournament game today and won 18-7.

Our Carter is the lead-off batter and a good little base runner. He is 6.

“Other” Carter is 7 and played shortstop today. He had some good snags. 

Luke is pretty serious about catching. It was a hot day for all that gear. He’s is also 7. 

He’s a pretty intuitive player, here tossing under-handed to the first baseman for the out. 

Sweet smile from an excited boy!

They did a great job. 

Our family has been involved with sports from the very beginning. Bill played baseball, football and basketball. I never competed in sports but could hold my own waterskiing. Bill brought be into the baseball world before we were married, taking me to my first MLB game and teaching me how to keep score. 

When the boys played baseball, I was the team’s scorekeeper. Now that Carter is playing, I do the books whenever we are the home team. Today, though, I was just a spectator. And a proud one at that. 

I hope to have more baseball pictures tomorrow because the tournament continues in the afternoon. It will be another hot day. I hope we do well. 

LORD, thank you for the talent you have given these young boys. I pray that you will keep them healthy as they play in this heat. And I pray that we will all have fun!
