Red Sox VS. Marlins!

Last Wednesday was the the Red Sox last game of the season. It was a rematch with the Marlins.....it ended much better than the last time we met up with them! The final score was 11-9...but that was a lot better than the last score! Gabe had one of his best games of the season...he played 1st, SS, pitcher and center field! He had several great stops at ss and pitcher along with an out at 1st! He only got up to bat twice, but on his first up, he hit a double!! He scored 2 people in on that run! His next at bat, he hit a pop up, but fortunately the 2nd baseman wasn't able to get ahold of it! Even though the Red Sox didn't win...it was nice to end on a positive note....this was a trying year! Looking back, we should have played Gabe up to the next league. We have struggled with this nearly every year...Gabe is always the youngest because of his birthday, so when we saw the opportunity for him to be one of the oldest we thought that was the best decision....well, not this time! At the older age level, he would have had the play time he was ready for...a lot of times this year he was left standing, just waiting for someone to hit the ball! Thankfully, Gabe loves us even when we make the not so wise decisions as parents....we all saw this year through, and now, we hope not to make the same mistake twice....Lucky Grady!
