They practice and play games 3 times a week, but early on, before their first game, Preston got popped in the face with a ball. Unfortunately, he didn't have his glove up, so the ball hit his cheek bone. The result was a bruised cheek and eventually a black eye. It was a painful lesson, but one that will hopefully stick. Thankfully it didn't alter his love for the game, in fact he kept practicing the night it happened.

a lot from his coaches and Daddy.
Of course, it has been an awesome season for me as a mom who loves to see her kids do well, and loves little league baseball! Preston loves to have people cheering for him, and thank goodness he can hear me loud and clear!
However, even if I wasn't there, a game hasn't gone by where there wasn't someone there to watch and root for him. Mimi and Papa are regulars, but he has also managed to have Uncle Dan, his PE Coach, Coach Christian, the Criggers, the Jarmons (twice), and most recently Nene, Poppy and Henley.

| watching the game |
Though they still have three games left, they are seated pretty darn high going into the end of the season with an undefeated record. They have been a lot of fun to watch, so I am anxious to see how they end up. Sadly, a little league game can change on a dime since they only play 4 innings. But for now, I want to thank those who have taken time out of their day to watch Preston!
