Summer High School Baseball… @ Carson High

The summer high school baseball season kicked off a week ago… Carson played their first home game tonight at McNutt Field against the Black Sox from Galena.  The Blue Jays have had a tough season so far loosing some close games (mostly one run…) but the fellas are having a good time and playing hard. Summer ball is all about learning and growing as a team… a very intense season, something like 26 games in 30 days… a lot of baseball!

Here are some shots from the evening…

At the change of sides this hawk landed in left field… probably looking for his dinner that Coach Manoukian had to get a shovel and toss over the fence when he was there mowing before the game… He was on the field for a few minutes then moved to the fence right in front of the folks watching from the left field bleachers…

Luke went sliding right on past second base and had to crawl back before the tag…Luke at first base… (is it me or is he practicing Jedi Mind Tricks on the ball…)

Gehrig ran this one down and very nearly made the throw in time… the photo’s a little deceptive… he’s throwing from the grass… that’s a ways back from second…Nevin adding to the hits… with the nice sunset lighting him…

Don’t you wonder what they’re talking about… nice to see a smile on Jace’s face!  🙂  Maybe a good joke, who knows!
