Tonight was the t-ball championship game between the Yankees and the Padres.The Padres came out strong right from the beginning, building a 10-2 lead.
The Yankees battled back, scoring the go-ahead run in the top of the 6th (last) inning.
But alas, the Padres wouldn't be denied, and won the game in the bottom of the inning.
Drew played his heart out, having some key at-bats. He also had 2 flawless innings at 1st base.
The thing I love most about Oak Park is that sense of community we have. Several of the Yankee and Padre families knew each other. While we each cheered our hearts out for our respective teams, when it was all over there was an awards ceremony for both teams in the infield, and a combined picnic afterwards. Families stayed around for over an hour after the game was over. The parents chatted and the players from both teams practiced their pitching techniques, with Yankee Coach V using his new radar gun (a gift from the Yankee families) to measure the speed of the pitches. It was a great ending to a great season.
