Syndi's First Baseball Game

Syndi had her first baseball game on a recent Saturday. The Indians battled the Athletics. Syndi did well. The whole family came to watch.

Syndi stands in for her first at bat. She was a little timid, but hit the ball solidly without needing a tee.

Stephen watched from his own lawn chair.
Syndi played in left field.
She awaited another at-bat in the dugout.
Syndi's second trip to the plate...

...produced her second hit. No tee necessary.
Coming home, she almost got passed by the runner behind her. Syndi scored a run after each of her first two hits.
Meanwhile, Junior continued to climb...
...and climb... and scare some of the parents in the bleachers beside us. He was about 6 feet clear from the ground on the 10-foot fence.
The game ended, and the teams lined up to shake hands. Syndi went 2-for-3, with her potential third "hit" turning into an out as she ran slowly and timidly to first base. She had a lot of fun, and we are proud of her. Way to go Syndi!
