She made three attempts at 5' 0" and almost cleared that too

Big Hitter

Joseph started out the baseball season with some great hits.

SCORE!

Coach Pitch Baseball

Natalie played coach pitch baseball this spring.

Usually a pitching machine is used to pitch the ball, but Natalie's coach got closer to her and pitched the ball so that he can help her to stay focused.

Natalie loved to run the bases, so she was allowed to run the bases even if she didn't hit the ball.
She expecially loved sliding into home plate.
