Makenna and buddy Matthew!
Makenna whacks that ball!
Susil #1 - that fits in our eyes!
Makenna had her first Miracle League Baseball Game today. It was great opening day. Her cousins Matt and Jack are buddies for the league. Jack was Makenna's substitute buddy today because Matthew offered to help another player that didn't have a buddy. Her team name is the Orange Crushers. She had a great time. She got a hit on her first time swinging the bat and rounded the bases like a champ. Makenna's Uncle Jim is a coach (just happened to be for the opposing team today.) The kids had a wonderful time. Next week the games start out at 10:00am. Come out and enjoy the day if you can.
The field is amazing, it is made of recycled tires. It is a smooth suface so people in wheelchairs can circle the bases without difficulty. There was a free concession stand. Indoor restroom facilities, shaded dugouts, spectator seating and they are working on installing lights so each child will have a chance to play under the lights. We were all honored to have Zack Space, Troy Balderson and Mayor "Butch" Zwelling at the ceremonies.
