This year Jerrin has graduated up to the Pee Wee's League in baseball here in Casselton. He was pretty excited for this first game and to be a Red, but was still willing to pose for a quick photo.
First at bat of the season.

Yeah! Jerrin's first at bat landed him on first with a single. Here he was able to walk to third after other teammates moved him around the bases.
The biggest excitement of the game came when he was put in as catcher. Yes, he really did want to be the catcher. He is always telling us how he wants to follow in John's footsteps so this may be a good start. We have a whole family of past catchers....Dad was a catcher when he played baseball, Mom was a catcher in her early days of softball and John too started out as a Pee Wee and Rookies catcher.
It took a little bit to get use to having the balls thrown right at you (on purpose) and his head was often seen turning the opposite way before the ball came to him, but he is improving every game and really seems to enjoy is new position.
He has even had some faithful fans that have been able to watch a few of his games.
Best of luck Jerrin on the rest of your season. We can not wait to watch you improve each and every game. Keep working hard and you will certainly be where your big brother is some day.
