Hudson has been playing in a preseason baseball tournament that has been going on the last 2 weeks! (the rain has REALLY stretched the tournament out!) Tonight he played in a game at 6:00...if they won they advanced to the championship game immediately afterwards! Big night! The weather was crazy...dark clouds and crazy wind all around. People were checking their phones and it showed we should be sitting in the middle of huge rain. It sprinkled on us once. I can't believe we didn't get rained out. It was if God had put a bubble over the ball fields! 
We got behind 1-4 pretty quick at the beginning of the first game...but came back and won! It was really exciting. Our team started out the season slow and doesn't really have any super stars to speak of...but plays with a lot of heart just keeps on coming at you. I have had SO much fun watching them play! Coach Brad is REALLY good to use every opportunity as a teaching moment with them. He is super calm and patient. He is perfect for this age group.
We got behind early in the championship game to...but couldn't quite come back. The other team was has really good infielders and were getting us out at first like crazy. But, we gave it a good try. And we came in 2nd place in the tournament out of 12 teams! Not too bad! And the season hasn't even begun!
There was a little awards ceremony after the game.
Our team got 2nd place medals and a big 2nd place team trophy. Coach Brad is giving every kid a turn to take the trophy home and then bring it back at the next game to pass on to the next player. The boys were really excited about that!
Way to go Hudson!
Way to go Braves!
Here are some clips from Hudson batting. He got a hit every time he was up except once. He got out a few times at first...but that usually advanced or scored a runner!
