The Bulls Have Clinched the Pennant!!!

The Bulls Have Clinched the Pennant!!!!

Well, OK, the division. And, really, at least a partial share of the division lead!

Grace's team just won one of the best-played, hardest-fought games of Pee Wee baseball I've ever seen (and I've been coaching since Peter was in the 6-8 league....). Grace's team was undefeated, the other team had one loss.

The Bulls (G's team) wound up winning 7-4, which is like a real baseball score! Typically Pee Wee games have scores that look more like they belong to football games: 21-17, 19-15, etc. But in this one the kids actually played defense! The team has two more games left, so even if they hit a slump, they should wind up in at least a tie for the division champ.

Grace got a hit, and was able to score, too, which was a blast. All the kids played really well; there was a double play, a couple of spectacular catches, and, best of all, the kids were obviously THINKING, and aware of where the play was without the coaches jumping around like madmen (and woman) in the dugout.

That's without a doubt the best part of coaching -- the moment, even if it's brief, where the kids actually get it, and are able to make the right automatically.

GO BULLS!
