Baseball Season

Kevin was our varsity catcher this year as a freshman...did a super job!
Kevin blocking the plate against the ace pitcher for the other team, who chose, for some unknown reason, to slide into home head first!
Ouch! Why would the opposing player come in head first to a 6'0" 235 lb. catcher who had the plate blocked two steps before the play?......
Big collision results in Kevin pancaking an unconcious-looking opponent.
After the play at home (ump signals "out!")...Kevin broke the guy's wrist and dislocated his shoulder (ended the player's season...too bad, because he was signed to play college ball this year)...moral of story: When Kevin blocks the plate, it's blocked.
Kelli Jelli preparing to smack the ball to the outfield!
Kelli heading for home plate!
Corey swatting a double in league play...
Corey racing to first (he was named a first team all star this year, primarily for his speedy catches in center field, but he hit extremely well this year, too...)
League Champions!: Conner pulled off something that his two oldest brothers never managed to do...win it all! Congrats Conner!
Conner won two games for his team on the final play of the game this year (one was a walkoff single and the other was a play at third for the final out)....here he is whacking the ball into play during the championship game.
Kyle Pitching to Kevin: In 14 years, this is something we had never seen before...Kyle (who normally plays shortstop) pitched a few innings one game and Kevin caught him....we thought they would never agree on what pitch to throw, but luckily, it worked out!
Kevin attacking a bunt...
This would be Kevin striking out!
Kyle batted over .420 for his high school team this year (this is a photo of him actually striking out--Notice that the catcher has the ball!)
