The one that DEFINITELY got away!

Nolan's 7U Mustangs baseball team just finished their 3rd weekend of tournaments with some pretty exciting games! We were lucky enough to play an 8am and a 9:30am back to back set of games on Saturday morning before it got too terribly hot. We finished the morning with 2 wins. The team then went into tournament play on Sunday and won their first game. Nolan had a great hit with one bounce off the fence. The second game at his second at bat he crushed the ball with an over the fence 2 run home run down the 3rd base line!!! I've never seen his eyes light up like they did in that moment. His team even came out to the plate to celebrate with him! If only I had my camera out at the moment...hopefully there will be a "next" time!

All the boys!

I think Nolan's in love with his ball!
