National Anthem before 3rd game...
Warming up before a game....
Just chillin' with the guys....
This is one of my favorite pictures from the whole week..... Ethan's coach, Mitch, giving him "5" when he got on first base!!
All the boys and coaches signed balls and each boy got to keep a ball....

Ethan made All Stars for the 11 year olds. He was so excited to make it. It was very, very busy for a while. He had practice everyday for 3+ hours, fund raisers, scrimmages, games out of town, pool parties, and then finally All Stars in Pendleton.
When the boys were given their uniforms, Ethan said, "This is the best day of my whole life!" All the adults had a good laugh over that.
We all had a really good time. All the boys got along so well and played really hard. I was very proud of each of them. They won their first game against Union County.After they won, the whole team went to the Water Park in Pendleton and had a great time.

Then they had a day off and then we played LaGrande. We lost by one point, but the boys played hard and really had a good game. It was so good to see all of the boys being so supportive of each other. It really made me proud to be from Baker. Then the whole team and families went to New York Ritchie's and had pizza. We all had so much fun visiting with each other.
Finally, the boys played Pendleton and lost in the semi-finals. At this point they were out of the tournament. It was really hard for everyone. Greg turned to me and said he almost started crying!!! We were all feeling that way. As the boys walked out of the dug out, there were a lot of tears. Broke my heart to see them. Once again, these boys played their hearts out and were outstanding representatives for Baker City!!! So proud of all the boys!!!!
