June had a great T-ball season this summer. She lucked out and got on the best team (The Green Lizards) and had the best coach who taught her lots of new skills, gave lots of praise and then had the patience to let the kids just play their games. She made lots of new friends on her team, once she got over her initial shyness. She learned to hit pitches this year and she made some great plays in the outfield. She even caught her first pop fly! I think she paused in shock for about 10 seconds while the crowd cheered! Her sweet spot was short stop where she averaged about 2 outs a game.
Grandpa Kyle, a seasoned pro, came up mid season and worked with her in the backyard. He even rigged a hanging tennis ball for her to practice her swings. She worked very hard this summer and her talent grew by leaps and bounds. She's already started working on her softball fast pitch skills so she's all ready to start playing softball with the older girls next summer. So proud of you Junie B, our little slugger!
