Double header against Ontario Saturday, April 30. The La Grande Tigers won both... 7-6 and 12-11. Carson pitched a good first game with 16 strikeouts. He threw 141 pitches, but that didn't get to him as much as playing shortstop in the second game. A crazy bounce made the ball go right off his face :(The La Grande team almost looked like they were going 10 run the Ontario Tigers until the 4th inning, when suddenly we couldn't score & they began to creep up on us, tying the game at 11 all in the 6th inning. (Yikes) Seventh inning, still tied. Then finally in the 8th inning, Erik gets on base, Logan gets hit with a pitch, and Carson hits one over the first baseman's head to win the game. It was the same kind of hit Carley made to win her softball playoff game.
The next day, Carson's eye was swollen shut. Swelling on the side had gone down, but his actual eye was shut with a pretty purple, blue, and red hue. He made this pic his Facebook profile picture! As good as Carley's shiner on her driver's license.Chase tried to snap his ankle playing legion ball, so I guess all my children have survived the most dangerous game... at least in high school.
