Play Ball!!

Rowan finally got her first game in last night! We were afraid it was going to get called for rain again but the showers eased up and while the field was wet and a little muddy they still went for it. It was awesome. Here's how T-Ball works - the games last for three innings. Each team bats for the cycle so each player gets to bat and run the bases. You play for outs but even if you are out you get to stay on base so you can run the bases and cross homeplate. The score is not kept. I guess that means every game is a tie. Rowan started out at first base last night and batted clean up. Second inning she played shortstop and batted first. Third inning she played the left half of the pitchers mound (there is no pitcher so two kids stand at the mound area and play each half, one the first base half and the other the third base half and batted fifth.
