First Hit!

Tyler has his first hit as a cyclone and got an RBI. He's doing such a better job getting a bat on the ball.

They played a doubleheader against the Grand Island Islanders at Explorers stadium in Sioux City today. They won both games 7-4 and 12-6. Tyler played third base, pitcher, and left field.

Baseball

This past weekend the Cyclones had a tournament in Elk Point, SD. Saturday they played the Frozen Ropes from Omaha and lost 5-7 and the Blizzard of Minnesota and won 8-3. Sunday they played the Blizzard again and lost 2-11 and lost 5-15 against the 18 year old Cyclone team. Tyler played many positions including pitcher, third base, left and center field. It's been very enjoyable watching the boys come together as a team.

Happy Grandparents Day!

 Tyler helped with supper tonight and made mushrooms. Just like he makes at work. They were delicious!
 After the game, Grandma treated us to ice cream for a belated birthday treat for Steve's birthday.
Today we headed to Valley Springs to play a scrimmage game against Brandon Valley Legion team. They lost 5-10 in 7 innings. Tyler played left field, third base, and right field. He got on base twice on a walk and an error.

Tyler's a CYCLONE!

A few weekends ago Tyler tried out for the Sioux Falls Cyclones 16 under fall baseball league and made it! Last night was their first game in Renner, SD against a 19 under Legion team from Sioux Falls. They played 9 innings and lost 1-6. Tyler played third base, left field, and pitched an inning. It is like no other baseball we've watched before. The team only committed one error, everyone pitches, and everyone bats. They only allow 12 kids per team which allows for a lot of playing time.
