Bridger's Spring Baseball Season

Bridger is on the back row of boys, first from the left.  

Bridger had a great spring baseball season with the Braves.  It's his second year with the team.  He's really gotten to know the kids better.  They've become his good friends.  His coaches, Corey, Mike, Jody, and Wes are wonderful with the boys!  We're so lucky to have them.  Bridger really improved this season.  At the beginning he struggled to find his swing.  But then he found it and turned into a powerful hitter!  

Coach Corey put Bridger in to pitch sometimes.  He's been working on his accuracy but then it slows him down a little.  Coach really liked putting Bridger in during our tournaments because the kids aren't used to a slower pitcher so it would throw them off.  Once they figured it out, he would pull Bridger.  He was always so complimentary with Bridger.  Bridger would get down on himself when they would score but coach said that Bridger was just doing his job.  

We stayed super busy with baseball. It seemed like most Saturdays, Bridger had a double header.  He practiced at least twice a week.  We went to Idaho Falls and Pocatello for baseball tournaments.  I actually really loved it because we were able to focus on just Bridger and baseball.  The kids loved swimming at the hotels.

I was so grateful that they chose gray pants for the uniform.  They have been so much easier to keep clean.  Now I don't mind when Bridger slides into base.  The team had some money left over from the cook shack last season.  They used the money to buy every boy their own helmet and matching back packs with their number on it.  They looked so snazzy.
