24 hrs. - 2 WINS - and the Reds

Duncan & Paxton's Heat rolled up two more wins in the past 24 hours. Yesterday evening, we travelled to Crosby Elementary school. There, the Heat beat the Harrison Hawks by a score of 6-5. And tonight, the Heat once again topped the Westside Hawks... final score, 5-4. Duncan had an AWESOME game at 2nd Base. Making one 'highlight-reel' over-the-shoulder, running-away inning-ending fly ball... and then several other well-fielded balls to help keep the Hawks in check (including another inning ending bare-handed flip to 1st). Paxton had a terrific evening as well. Keeping in mind Paxton is playing up two full levels... 'Rookie' (his nickname since his very first at bat of the season) has settled in nicely and had quite a few shining moments. Congratulations to Duncan and Paxton... it's been a terrific 24 hrs.

I was also fortunate enough to go to the Reds vs Yankees games this afternoon with Duncan, Paxton & Griffin. We had a great time. Bleacher seats, the Reds, the Yankees, time with three of my boys... what more could a guy ask for? Well... it would have been nice if the Reds had won. But that's how it goes sometimes. No biggie. However, upon returning home from this evening's game against the Westside Hawks, we were happy to turn on the night-cap Reds/Yankees game to watch the hometown guys finish MAN-HANDLING the bronx bombers, 10-2. GO REDS! (Just win next time we're there, eh?)
