The Chukars had a great weekend playing against the Miles City Pioneers and Southwestern Oregon Lakers. They came up 2nd overall, and Landon said the coaches had positive comments for the team, and were encouraged on the improvement from last week. They played two games each day, and Landon caught one game each day, and Jose' the other. Landon seems to always have great defensive games, and was able to throw players out at first, second, third, and also blocked the plate at home. He was pretty sore and tired after the weekend (knees and elbow). When they aren't playing in the game, he and Jose' are kept pretty busy in the bullpens. The Chukars are kept very busy when hosting these tournaments, and are prepping the field from early early morning, till it's time to "put the field to bed".
It's a bit different from high school ball, in that there is NO talking to mom and dad through the fence at the ballfield. The best we can do it try to "catch" his eye and give him a thumbs up once in awhile. Landon is always very appreciative of our support, and it was great to have Grandpa and Grandma Dickson and Grandma LuAnn Rich there to cheer him on ! This is a great time in HIS life, and we are also enjoying EVERY minute.
