C was starting pitcher tonight for the All Star tournament. He was fine. Me? My stomach is still in knots! He did well, pitching 1 2/3 innings and striking out three. Gave up a couple of runs but kept them in there. He made a beautiful defensive play on a ball hit back to the mound throwing out the runner at home to stop a run from scoring.

On base twice--a walk and he took a pitch to the helmet! He went down for a minute but shook it off and took his base.

Then the little man caught the last two innings making two perfect throws to almost get base stealers.

I was proudest of all though when he struck out and just shook it off. C can be very hard on himself and that's very big for him.

Great game tonight. They won 13-7 and may just have wiggled themselves into the playoffs if they play well Saturday.

Whew!

on edit: We just found an article and C has his name in the paper for the first time!
