3 games, 6 days

 Just had my best three games on a personal level, or at least the last two. The first game we tied against an undefeated team, and I played solid CF and got a hit. The next game, I was on fire defensively. JM was pitching, and so I got a ton of action in Center. Running catches, diving catches, sliding stops, routine plays - it was the most fun I've had. in center. And also got two hits to boot. However, we lost 15-13 (very impressive with JM pitching). It was also against my buddies IK and RS, in Baptist. And the third game I got another 2 hits, making that 5 in the three games. Also got my first HBP, and reached on a walk, meaning I got on base 4 out of 4 times. 

After this stretch, my average was .381 and OBP was over .500. But alas, last night we played again, and I went 0-3 with 2 strikeouts. It hurt especially because we were leading AS team the whole game until the Top 7th. We hit a 3 run homer to bring it back to a one run game, only be caught by AS in center. It was the nicest catch I've ever seen in a game I was playing. What a dream, I am so jealous. He ran back to the wall jumped up, fell on the fence, and managed to hang on to the ball. Crazy. This sport is humbling, and I am loving it.

A Topsy Turvy Kinda Day

 As we still are waiting to enter our apartment in Ganei (24 months late), the question of what to do with the kids next year is on our mind...
