Ben's first season of High School baseball ended yesterday with a win in Everglades City.
Boy was that a long strange drive. The school is about 90 miles south of us, but they literally are in the middle of the Florida Everglades.
All I could think was, "People live here?". You drove for a long time seeing nothing but smelly swamp and then...surprise! There is a small town where the main economy is Swamp boat tours. Rob thought it was great and I had to keep him from stopping at the swamp boat/ice cream/realtor hut so he couldnt find info on property there.
Ben's team ended up 4 wins-7 losses for their first season...which is very good for a new team.
Ben will continue to play with his Jr league Red Sox team. They are in a county tournament this week and they play game 2 tonight. They won game 1 14-4 and Ben pitched the first 3 innings and did a great job. Baby Aiden got to come see his first baseball game at 6 weeks old. He stayed awake through about half of it.
Here is a few pictures of Ben and his team. Congrats Ben!
