It was a warm sunny afternoon and we were about to embark on a journey into one of America's greatest sports. The kids were all dressed in matching uniforms and everyone was excited to see them play. Our Braves faced the Athletics yesterday.

Daniel was first at bat. On the second pitch he hit a single. He was followed by Cody, Hunter, Ben, Jackson, Trent (who hit a double) and Jack. In all the Braves scored 3 runs that inning. We changed up and the Athletics managed to get a double but we held them at 0 after 4 at bats.

3rd Inning - Ben started us off with a HOME RUN followed by Jackson. Then it was Trent's turn. Trent decided he would not be shown up by Ben or Joey and followed with his own HOME RUN.
