Fun weekend - weather was pretty close to perfect after about 10 am. Dressed in layers for the morning, in short sleeves by afternoon!
Team played well overall going 4-1. Came up short against a really good team from Waxahachie. I dont think they will be AAA much longer. We were down 3-1 going into the 4th, started a crazy comeback and go up 6-4. Only to be bested on a walk off grand slam as time expired just after it was hit.
Jax still cant find solid contact/holes, but got hit twice in the Final game, lol. He straight took a curve ball that was coming at him. Saw him turn his front leg and just prepare for impact, lol. He actually loves that, hahaha. Second one, a hard throwing big kid plunked him with a fast ball right to the back. He tossed the bat and clapped 3x on the way to first. Parent after the game told him she loved it, and it looked like he almost enjoyed it. He told her, I have to psych myself out or I have to answer to (pointed at me and his Mom and Step Dad) them with a grin on his face
He has been amazing on defense in the field rotating between primarily second and some short. He accounted for 6 outs in the final game either off grounders or fly ball outs.
Fun stuff heading into this weekend.

My poor son had a bad experience. Hard hit ball right at him in LF and he made a last step adjustment and ball hit glove & fell out. Cost them two runs on that play as there were 2 outs. Poor guy was hanging his head & it crushed him. I feel bad for him because his heart & work ethic is very solid it’s tough when you get very limited opportunities to prove yourself and have a mishap. He learned a hard lesson if you play long enough you’ll make some errors and just got to keep your head up and working hard to improve. That was a long quiet drive back home. As a parent it’s tough to watch these under pressure to perform moments. I just hope he can rebound & get back out there and work hard at it

Mental game, and focus are absolutely at the top of the list. How you react to different situations is HUGE in development, and just an overall enjoyment.
Good Luck to yall going forward! Lots more games to play!
