Drew is playing in a baseball tournament this weekend in Indianola, IA. About 40 minutes from home. Tommy and I went to his first game this morning, he played first base well, pitched well, struck out his 2nd time up to bat but then felt like he redeemed himself when he hit a double the next time up! Scott and Jack got there in time to see his double and most of his pitching, they came right from Jack's first baseball game in Waukee.
It was a cold and very rainy morning...the rain was pouring down when it came time for his 2nd game of the day to begin at 1pm so Tommy, Jack and I headed home. Yes, we are fair weather fans somedays. But then Scott called to tell me...Drew hit ANOTHER double when the bases were loaded in his second game, think he even had a full count on him and a friend of his was the pitcher for the other team. Wow! Scott called all choked up, so happy for Drew and so proud. Wish I could have seen Drew's face for that one. Drew has been having some struggles with batting, just feeling frustrated by it...batting seems to be a very mental thing. It's hard to be a Mom when your child feels sad and frustrated. And so today is quite the victory for him. He needed that for a boost in his batting confidence. Sad I missed it...
Way to go Drew! We are proud of you through it all....
we love YOU
