WAY TO GO CAM!

Last weekend Cameron made his pitching debut!

It was the top of the 6th and the Dirtbags were down by 4. Cameron threw his first pitch, it was a swing and a hit -- right to the pitcher, Cameron, who charged the ball, picked it up and threw it to first.....it was close, but after a second of holding our breath......the umpire yelled "he's out"!   Whew -- that was a close one!

Next batter - a pitch goes by, but it's a strike, next pitch it........

You get the idea, right?  (Should I be a sports announcer?!!?!)

Cameron only had to throw 6 pitches (which were all good!) :) and the inning was over!!  It was exciting and Cameron did GREAT!  No runs were scored that inning which gave the Dirtbags a chance to win.  He had the biggest smile on his face when he ran off the field and his coach ran over and picked him up!  It was a big moment for Cameron!

The excitement continued into the bottom of the 6th......Cameron got up to bat, got on base and scored -- unfortunately he got on base because one of the pitches hit him in the head -- thank goodness for those helmets!  :)

The Dirtbags ended up scoring 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th which ended the game in a tie!

Here's Cameron in action.....

It was an exciting game for more than just Cameron -- they ended up giving out 3 game balls because all three of these players had some awesome plays and hits throughout the game.  Here's Cam at the top of the bleachers with his game ball.....

Ezequiel, Cameron and Ryan with their game balls......

WAY TO GO DIRTBAGS!
