Eli's Last Game

It's been another great baseball season for Eli, but this morning it came to an end. There was a game earlier this week that got postponed due to rain. Unfortunately for the boys, it was rescheduled for Friday night. Eli's team is especially young, with the majority of the kids having their 5th birthday just this spring. That usually means that Friday games, after a week of school and whatnot, do not find the Blue Jays focusing and playing well. So we ended up losing last night. The next tournament was scheduled for this morning, just over twelve hours after their exhausted loss. They put up more of a fight, but not enough to continue in the quest for the final game. So Eli is now officially NOT in the Shetland league anymore. As excited as I am for him to move up, I am also sad to say good-bye to the younger league, where the pants never fit right and the jerseys are always way too big.
