So, Colton has played this season on THE worst team in the league. I don't deny it, no one does. They stunk! It was as plain as the nose on my face, but we don't need to go there...:) In fact, Carson's team could beat these guys! They couldn't pitch, they couldn't field, they couldn't steal. It was baaad. He has wanted to pitch so badly, but his coaches wouldn't let him, although he was the only one on his team that can make a play. Colton never missed a practice, he practiced after practice, and with Grandpa and his dad. He was completely dedicated. Finally, after 4 or 5 games, and getting their butts kicked everytime, Colton got a chance to pitch and he did great! He has been consistent everytime they put him in to pitch and has held the team together. As soon as they take him out, it is a downward spiral.

On Saturday, Colton had 4 players up and got three players out, all three outs made by him. Now, you might say that I am overly biased because I am his mother, well, you are right. Even if he was terrible I wouldn't tell you, but he isn't! He has been awesome. Two weeks ago his coaches named him the Team Captain and he has been the starting pitcher the last 3 games, which as Colton says, "is nice to finally get the position that is rightfully mine." :) By the way, have I mentioned that I love this kid?
Hats off to Colton! Way to go on a rough season! You ended the season with a loss but you left the field with your head held high and a smile on your face! We are so proud of you! Can't wait until next season! Next week...Carson!
