This was their final game of the tournament. They were down 2 to tie and 3 to win with the bases loaded and the batter struck out. They did so well and had fun which is all that mattered! Oliver had a "sweet, sweet grounder" right to the third baseman, but he kept on running and made it! They played the White Sox and beat them in their very first game of the regular season, but the White Sox came back and won by 2 this time around! Ollie's team did really well seeing as they were most likely the youngest team in the league! Only 4 players returned and the rest of the boys were all new to the league! WAY TO GO BRAVES!!! Hopefully they will be able to be on the same team together next year! Thanks to everyone who came to Ollie's games to help cheer him on! I think Grandpa Palmer game to almost every single game! Thanks for everything!!! I'm so glad that he was able to play something that he truly LOVES to play!
Ed was able to get back from his business trip early and was able to see the last few innings! Eden was supposed to be starting T-Ball after Oliver's final game, but had a nasty spill off the bleachers, landing on her head on the cement. Just to be safe, Ed took her to Urgent Care to make sure that she didn't have a concussion! The nurse who saw her actually had a daughter who is on the same team as Eden! How weird is THAT?!? Needless to say, she missed her first practice, but I got her shirt, cap and schedule and told her coach what had happened.

You can see how much taller the White Sox are than our boys!

After Oliver's game, when Ed and Eden got home from the hospital, we went to eat a celebratory dinner at La Chapala. There was even a boy that played for the Cardinals eating there as well!!! Ollie was so proud of his medal! I don't think he took it off for the next three days!!! HAHAHA!
Eden being goofy! Ollie took this picture!
Jaren being a silly willy! :O)
