Warning: Baseball May Be Hazardous To Your Health

Or at least to your face.

In our game last week Austin was trying to field a ground ball and it took a bad hop, right into his face. You can sort of see the outline of the baseball seams in his cheek. I felt bad for him, after I finished yelling for him to get the ball and finish the play. Which was already stopped by the umpire because of his injury. What a caring, sympathetic mom I am.

In other baseball news, Austin was asked to play in a tournament this weekend with another team in our division. They needed a good ballplayer to help out their team, and so the head coach called Brian to ask if Austin could play. That is just how good he is. And Austin didn't disappoint. He did great and we had a good time. So proud of my little ball player. I think Brian really enjoyed it because he didn't have to coach and could just watch the ballgame. And pace on the outside of the field, instead of on the inside.
