Two hits, two runs

Mr. B. has truly broken his hitting slump of many months standing. This morning he got two of them and two accompanying runs. One hit lofted so high into center field that it fell behind the centerfielder, between him and the fence. Alas, the Red Wings went on to beat the Grasshoppers, 12-7. But our own player left the field triumphant.

Grasshoppers lose again

Need to get this in before I forget. It was last evening. The score was 5-4, a more respectible loss than the previous one. Best news was that Mr. B. broke his slump, grounding into left field off a player pitch (not so easy to do). He was thrown out at first, but only a half step from planting himself on the bag in time to be safe.

Mr. B. is nine

Just think, nine more years and I won’t have to get up early… Meanwhile, he opened his first present: a new batting helmet for his spring season with the Grasshoppers. Maybe it can break his hitting slump. More tonight when Mrs. Charm makes cowboy hamburgers, etc.
