2021 Baseball


Marcus is playing Tri-County baseball again this year.  He's playing 1st base!


He's really having fun on this team...it's a little less serious than what he's done in the past.


Here he is warming up to bat.


Here we go...


Good try Marcus.  Unfortunately you don't always get a hit but Marc said he had a great at bat and we are always so proud of his efforts.  First game was a loss...but many more to come!  Overall this season is about the love of the game and having fun!

 

7vs7



Marc and Marcus headed to Las Vegas for a 7vs7 tournament.  Marcus traveled in his uniform warm ups...he's got style! 


They arrived in Vegas and had to drive 80 miles to their hotel.  They were starving when they got there and Marcus had a feast!  Happy boy right there!


The team!  Their name is No Limit!  


Looking good boys!


They played Saturday and Sunday and learned a ton!


They ended early Sunday so Marc and Marcus headed back to Vegas for a day of fun.  They went to a hotel that we visited when we went down for softball.  They tried to go bowling but it was full so they just played some arcade games.



Marcus got this cool hat.  He likes cars so had to pose in front of this one.  




They met some of his teammates for some Top Golf.


Looks like fun!


I looked up Marcus on our Life 360 app...isn't this cool?  It shows where he was!  Top Golf looks cool.


Then the boys hit the strip.


They decided to go on the New York New York roller coaster.


Posing for some photos.


Smile boys.


Here's the roller coaster from Life 360...it looks scary from up here but Marcus said it was a blast.  Overall it was a great Father/Son trip.  So glad they did this!

 

More Varsity Softball




Emma has mainly been playing short stop this year.  I was taking pictures of their last game and realized I've got Emma behind Olivia in all the warm up shots.  I didn't even plan that!


The girls played Deer Park in a double header on Saturday.  Here is the last warm up pitch before play begins...Emma's standing on Second waiting for the throw down.


Emma is so fun to watch at short stop.  She's loving it too.


Olivia with total focus during the game.


Emma up to bat.  


Ball!  Great job Emma!


Olivia pitched well.  It poured down rain almost the entire day; and they played a double header!  Weather conditions weren't the greatest but they worked through it.  


Emma covering third base.


Some of their Diamonds' friends came to watch!  They ended up losing both games but they were really close.  We were so proud of them for hanging in there.  They all did amazing.

Varsity Softball




It's finally here...High School Softball!  These girls have been working hard for this for a long time.  They both made varsity as freshmen...we are so proud.


Their first game was a double header....an away game vs. Newport.  The girls lined up before getting on the bus.


Olivia started her first varsity game as the pitcher.


Go Lady Rams!


Emma played short stop the entire game and rocked it!


Great job Olivia!


The Lady Rams are killing it!


Olivia hit a HOME RUN!!!  So exciting!
