Called Up

One of the West Portage Little League AA teams was short on players tonight (injuries, prior obligations, etc) and they asked if someone from the machine pitch division would be able to fill in. William was lucky and got to "play up" for the night. The AA teams play half their games using the machine and half with a player pitching. Tonight was a machine night so Will felt comfortable behind the plate. Some of the other rules are different, however. You can run multiple bases on a hit, can steal, etc. William did great! He got on base every inning and even hit a few doubles. They didn't bury him in the outfield - he played short stop, third base and first. He made some stops at short stop, had a great throw from third to first, and caught a great throw from the second baseman to get an out at first base. He had a lot of fun. The coach said he was welcome back for their game next Tuesday.
