Rockets Opening Day

Alex Pitching

Alex at bat

Saturday was the Rockets Opening Day Game. Phil helps to coach our friend's daughter's team, the Rockets. They are an 14 and Under girl's fast pitch team. He's been helping Rusty coach the team for about 5 or 6 years now. We're getting old so we really can't remember how long, but it's been since she was in the 8 and unders? LOL

What I noticed this year was that the girls are finally learning what they need to do, where the ball needs to go, they're looking like a softball team. One of the first plays, the home team hit what we thought was going to be a home run. Well, she hit it out between centerfield and right field. The girl out there caught the ball on the ground, threw it to the next girl who was near second, that girl threw it to I think the pitcher, who then threw it home, and they tagged her out!

And if you've seen the previous seasons, you'd know how excited we were about this! LOL

They are getting better at bat too. Lots of hits, Alex hit a triple and a home run too!! And there were girls on base both time! YAY!

We won 19 to 1. I hope this means that we have a great team this year! Although, it's just fun watching them play!
