Here is a picture of Andy at bat. (It seems like he is about a foot taller than anyone else on the field except for the coaches.) Doesn't he look mature?

Tonight was the guys' first baseball game. The rules are 5 innings or 90 minutes, whatever comes first. I am so grateful there is an end in sight. Each team bats until the whole team goes up to bat. Everyone gets a hit. They get about 6 strikes and then the coach jogs out and sets up the T-ball thing so that the guy can hit the ball. All in all, it went wonderfully! The guys are thrilled to hit the ball, sometimes they catch the ball, and they can even throw it... sometimes. They had a fantastic time. Andy did get a good hit (without the T), and Benjamin slid into first once. The other team was composed of extremely short kids who could actually hit and field the ball. The coach told the guys the game ended in a tie. Everyone was thrilled.
