This weekend was the official beginning of sports weekends in the Fox house for the Fall! Yesterday, Grady had his first flag football game! Unfortunately, his team didn't win, but Grady had a good time and did a very good job! He started out the day on defense getting 3 flags (he says 5...if you ask him!) and played offense in the 2nd half. He carried the ball a couple of times and went out for a pass once! He had a good run once...but, he tripped over the center so, he didn't get too far! His team has only had a few practices...so, I'm sure they will improve as the season continues! Go Crushers!!!
Gabe had a double header on Sunday in his season fall ball opener! He had 2 very good games...his team losing by 1 in the first and ending in a tie in the second! In the first game, he had a double and a walk in the first game and a single and a strike out in the second game in his at bats! He played all outfield in the first game and first base in the second. While at center field he backed up the 2nd baseman and was able to get an out at 2nd...and almost had a "highlight reel" play while at left...unfortunately, the foul ball he was attempting to catch popped right out of his glove as he slid to get it! BUMMER! It was still a foul ball, so nothing gained, nothing lost! During the second game, his best play was a cleanly fielded ball that came full speed between 1st and 2nd....Gabe stopped it and beat the runner to 1st...AWESOME play! He will have double headers all of September...so I think he will definitely have his fill of baseball by the end of this season! He has only had 2 practices with the Sluggers Academy, but he has improved so much! Go Sluggers!!!
