War Wounds
On Wednesday nights Kyler's baseball team plays in a competitive league. Well, this week as time was expiring Kyler was up to bat and fouled tipped a ball off the end of his bat right into his mouth. On Thursday I took him to work with me and we went to the orthodontist just to make sure there were no fractures, loose teeth, or broken brackets. After a panoramic x-ray, some examining, and little joking around the doctor confirmed that everything is fine. He just has a really fat lip, some bruising, and lace marks on his chin! I took the below pictures with my Blackberry so they are not the best, but I think you can get the idea!

CRACKERJACK QUEST FOR THE BEST
Author Robert S. Wieder said, "Baseball fans are junkies, and their heroin is the statistic." I thought I would share a few quick stats for those of you keeping track. Rene', you might need Jason to help you through this one!
STAT LEADERS:
Hitting: Connor and Zach Cain smashed a .556 Batting Average. Devin had a .692 On-base percentage with no K's. Cain was on base .667. He also drove in 10 RBIs with Kyler behind him with 6 RBIs. 3 RUN KNOCK by Bryce Beckmann, which he called. Harrison's bat was hot all weekend, and Luke's bat heated up on Sunday play.
FIELDING LEADERS:
Ryan, Devin, Kyler, Zach Badger, and Zach Cain all fielded 1.000 (no errors).
PITCHING LEADERS:
Zach Badger struck out 8 in 3 innings of work. Cain, Gorman, Broyles all with 0.00 ERAs. Against the Dragons, Kyler threw a nice 4 1/3 innings with 5 K's and 0 Walks.
THIRD STRAIGHT TOURNEY THE BOMBERS LED THE FIELD IN SCORING AND IN RUN DIFFERENTIAL These stats are from this weekend's field of teams.
13.5 runs per game Allowed only 2.75 per game for a differential of 10.75 per game.
Best scoring: NW Arkansas Bombers (13.5) Best differential: NW Arkansas Bombers (10.75)
Bottom line, we scored 54 runs in 4 games and gave up only 11 runs, not bad for 10 year old boys!

One Day Extravaganza in Harrison!
Due to Mother Nature's wrath, our second tournament of the season turned out to be a one day festival of baseball at Wheeler Park. Four games in one day is a little much for anyone, including 10 year old boys. They hung in there and left with 2ND place trophies. Here are a few pictures from the day!
