victory!
ben's hard working baseball team pulled off their first victory. they can't hit the ball worth a darn. so i taught them to bunt. that and a bunch of walks got us base runners. and i taught them to steal. that got us runs. we have one really good pitcher. he shuts down the other team for two innings. then we have three kids who can pitch on a good day. problem is figuring out which of them is gonna have a good day today. sigh. ah well. it's just for fun. if only the umpire didn't suck. he's just a kid. thinks that *any* movement of the bat in the direction of a bad pitch is a strike. in a previous season this ump called ben for swinging at a pitch that would have hit him if he hadn't been jumping out of the way.
