Niko’s Journal

Today was my very first practice on my new baseball team, The East Ridge Rock Hounds! Boy did I have a great time! First Coach Darryl had me and my team mates do some running, and then we had to practice catching the ball that was hit on the ground.

Then I got to practice swinging at a Hit-N-Stick (which made my arms tired but I did real good). Next it was my turn to bat!

Coach Darryl showed me how to stand, and Coach Jack pitched to me. I hit my first four pitches, and Coach Jack was proud of me. I had fun hitting the ball!

Here are the pictures from my first day!
