Well now that she is in a team herself, I won't have to listen to her complaining about a game being played on her birthday!
She already partied away last Saturday with her close friends and favourite cousins and tonight we had approximately 1/2 hour to celebrate her champagne birthday before heading out to watch the game between the RY Cardinals and the Bolton Braves at our home field in Toronto. This is the first time these two teams faced each other.

We got to the field just around 6:15 p.m. and immediately noticed that some of those Bolton boys were huge kids. I know there is a lot of farm land in Bolton but I seriously wonder what they feed them up there!
After the thunderstorm we had last night, the fields were still a bit damp but dry enough to play a good game. The weather was pleasantly cool so it was comfortable for both players and spectators.
The game started right on time at 7:30 p.m. and the Braves were up to bat first. Aaron covered 1st base. Our pitcher did a great job and the Braves did not score any runs. There were 2 outs when one of the Braves' kid hit the ball just off of 1st base. Aaron was able to get off the base, grab the ball and step back on the base to end the inning. He's slowly becoming a really good first baseman!
Our boys were able to get an impressive 5 runs in the first inning. It seems like our boys have a new burst of energy tonight...everyone of them was hitting HARD!
There were no runs scored in the second inning...by either team! Aaron was up to bat first in the second inning and although he hits a really hard one in the outfield behind second base, it was caught! What's with this kid lately...he has been hitting every time in the last few games.
In the 3rd inning, it was 3 up 3 down for the Braves! Our guys got an additional 3 runs. Aaron pops up one near short stop but made it safely on 1st, because the Braves missed it. He stole second but was left on base when the inning ended.
The Braves finally got a run in the 4th inning. I believe it was only because our pitcher was getting tired, pitching just over 65 runs by then. Time was called and we changed pitcher...Great Job # 2! I also notice that there's no cheering over at the Braves' bleachers!
Our guys only got 1 more run in the 4th. Although the boys were still hitting hard, it appeared that the Braves were on to them...either that or their defence woke up. One of our boys, # 25, hit one so hard I thought it would be a home run for sure!
In the 5th inning, it was 3 up 3 down AGAIN for the Braves!
Our guys are up to bat in the bottom of the 5th and the score is already 9-1. There is 1 more run and 1 out when Aaron comes up to bat. He hits AGAIN and is safe on 1st...seriously, who's this kid and what did he do with my son! He is able to score run number 11 and the game ends on the mercy rule.
What a game...and another win for our guys. These boys are all studying for / writing exams and still playing such great games!
I finally figured it out...Aaron has been using the $179.99 plus tax bat! Yep, it's a number I won't easily forget...that and his $279.99 plus tax hand-made glove!!! This is what happens when he goes shopping with his dad.
Tonight, us parents found new entertainment. Tom Riley park right off Islington Avenue and the park is below road level. It was quite entertaining to watch as the foul balls, and it happened at least 4 times tonight, landed on the road in between the cars! Luckily no one, or any vehicles, got hurt or damaged.
Apart from the tournament, the Cardinals have played a total of 10 games, with ONLY ONE loss so far! I think that's a pretty nice record.
What a great way for Ariana to end her Birthday...celebrating another win for her brother's team. She was also happy because her team (Brazil) won their game tonight (Worldcup 2014).
