Baseball and Softball 2011

Bryant started his first year of real competitive baseball. He played in a competitive city league (on the Angels team) early in the year and then tried out for and made it onto a super-league team (the Crush). He played a lot of first base, some short-stop, and some third base. He was really good. Their city league team took 2nd in the city and went on to the state tournament where they took 2nd place there too. We found out after the season was over that there was a little bit of a fight between coaches over who got to pick up Bryant in the city league (they have a try-out and draft). After the super-league season was over, we decided to move Bryant onto a newly formed super-league team coached by his city league coach another coach, and Nick. It has been a spectacular experience for him.
Abby played on a competitive city softball team and tried out for and made it onto a super-league softball team too.  She had a great season.  Her city team barely squeezed into the state tournament.  They were fun to watch.  They lost 2 of their first 3 games at the state tournament.
Tyler played base ball too.  He was on a coach-pitch team.  It was a little less than challenging for him because he is used to having to keep up with his brother and sister and has thus developed his skills really well.  So, to keep himself entertained, he started hitting switch...one at bat right handed, the next - left-handed.  It was fun to watch.  He actually hit the ball really well on both sides of the plate!
