The End of Spring Training

Well, it's the end of Spring Training -which while it is sad to see it go, is usually a happy day. Today, however, is a much different story for the end of spring training means our extended family, Jennie Finch & son Ace, leave us. We will miss them terribly but wish them safe travels! At least we know we will see them soon in Lubbock! Best wishes to Casey as he starts the season with AAA Houston affiliate Round Rock and hopefully he will get the call to the bigs soon - he definitely deserves his shot after the way he performed this spring.

Onto happier news, the little league team won ANOTHER (that's two in one week) game last night. Our boys soundly defeated the Reds who beat us the first game of the season. Last night Carson & Bradley split the pitching duties and both did AWESOME! It is so great to see our boys thriving on the mound. Our pitching rotation is two 10 year olds and one 11 year old while most other teams have at least two (in some cases more) 12 year old pitchers. Bradley also did a great job at the plate - hitting a clutch double with bases loaded!

Spring break starts here tomorrow and thankfully we finally have warm weather. We'll be spending lots of time at the ballfields!
