Whew - another fun filled week in Florida. TR traveled to Tennessee last Wednesday, missing the home opener for Spring Training which was Wednesday. He made it home on Friday, just in time for baseball practice. The boys were a little off - tending to play around too much and giving us a few worries for our upcoming games on Sunday. Saturday found us at the Astros-Pirates game, with Bradley and his friend Briar in tow. The boys had a great time getting autographs - even making sure to get some for Carson & Brock who were unable to come due to their little league game that afternoon. We did make it back in time for most of Brock & Carson's game which they won easily (even though they really don't keep score).
The Braves traveled two hours on Sunday to Beverly Hills, Florida to play the Inverness Crackers. Bradley took the mound for the first game, pitching three of the four innings that were played and leading his team to an 18-5 win. He was three for four during this game with one single and two doubles all to the outfield. Carson hit an in-the-park homerun with a screamer down the right-field line. This was followed by a hilarious moment in the outfield with Carson chasing his wind blown hat, while an errantly thrown ball is heading into centerfield - Carson is totally oblivious as the play is over before he can turn around! We all got a great laugh out of that one (which was really easy to do since we had such a lead).
During the second game, Bradley caught for two innings and then moved to the outfield. This game he was an RBI machine - going four for four and driving in the game ending run with a triple as the Braves routed the Crackers 21-11. It definitely was a very cold game and we were happy to get in the warm vehicles for the long ride home.
