Last night Michael accomplished yet another new thing - he pitched an inning. He pitched 30 pitches (which was the limit until today). He got a strike out and did well with the other batters also, especially considering it was the first time he pitched.
Today they started pitching the whole game - no more pitching machine. Their team won today! They have lost 1, tied 1, and won 8 games. Wow! What a season!
Here is a video of Michael pitching. When we got home he and Doug measured out his pitching zone in the back yard - so he could practice. What is funny is on the way home from school on Friday Michael had asked Emily if she would stand 40 feet away from him as a target for him to pitch at. She said no - you will hit me, use your tee. Michael then responded, no, that won't work, a tee does not say ouch when you hit it! Then I responded, if you hit your sister with a pitch, I am sure she is going to say more than outch!
