T Ball Banquet

Tonight was John Thomas’ t-ball party and banquet at Gatti Town. He had an awesome coach this year that presented them with a personalized baseball and trophy. I’m sad to see the season end, he really enjoyed playing. Now he says he wants to play golf and tennis. We shall see.

Last T-Ball Game

John Thomas’ last game was this afternoon. He has improved so much in just a few weeks. It has been so fun watching him learn and become part of a team! He has really responded well to Coach Odom! What a great season. GO BEARCATS!

Let The Games Begin!

Tonight was John Thomas' first t-ball game. He is #8 for the Simpsonville Bear Cats. At his age, each player gets to bat and run the bases each inning, so there are only 2 full innings. The coach pitches 6 balls and if the player doesn't hit, then he gets to hit off of a tee.

First time up at bat, John Thomas hit a foul then got a base hit off the tee. Once in the field he played between the pitcher and 1 baseman.

Second time at bat, he hit off the coaches pitch YAY!! He was so proud! He played shortstop the second time on the field. He made a really great catch during the inning. After the game, the teams high fived and then Coach Randy presented the game ball. He said that the game ball was going to the player that made a really good play during the game. Tonights game ball went to JOHN THOMAS!! Talk about a proud moment.
