2009 5&6-yr. old Nationals

(Back row:) Coach Jim. (Middle row:) Chase, Tyson, NySheed, Christian, Jacob (Front row:) Peyton, Carson, Andrew, McRae, Ethan, Oakley (Not pictured: Kyler and Cayden).

Christian is serious about playing 1st base.

The new baseball complex in Wilson is open! Christian has played two games on the new field. The Nationals won on opening day (5/30/09) , but lost to an undefeated team (by only 3 runs) the following Monday. Christian plays 1st base and is doing awesome! The game opening day he made 8 outs (all 3 in 2 innings); and hit 3 singles. The last game he made 5 outs (all 3 in 1 inning); had an RBI and hit 2 singles.

This week wraps up the spring baseball season. The Nationals face the Orioles tonight and the Mets on Friday night. This will be the third match up with the Orioles. The Nationals won the first game and lost the other. The previous match up with the Mets ended in a tie.

Christian is a little disappointed that the season is almost over. Luckily, there is fall baseball to look forward to. Depending on the birthday cutoff, Christian might still be in the 5-6 yr. old league.

We are very proud of Christian!! He has made friends and worked hard. He has received compliments for being polite and listening to the dugout mother. He is really in his element when he is playing baseball.
