early this morning(Saturday) about 2am. Our schedule did have us arriving Thursday afternoon but the weather decided to play havoc with the schedule. We played a doubleheader on Friday and lost another close one run game. These one run losses are adding up and becoming frustrating.
Last week or rather the last 12 days in Anchorage will be our last there until we return on August 1 for our flight back to San Fran.
The guys showed signs of wearing down this last game. You can see the bounce in their step is not always there and the frustrations of poor at bats or hanging curve balls is growing daily. It has been a long grind for them. Remember, they all started back in August last year with fall season, weights and conditioning. It is a year round grind that you have to love to continue playing.
We play a DH today against the second place team in the league at 5pm. Tomorrow will bring on a Church visit, game and then host family meal later in the evening.
The host families have been great for the players. They take these guys in for the summer and feed and house them.
The family is doing good although Kaylee is ready to go home. Kirkland actually said he missed home yesterday, which is odd for him. He usually loves going to the games and hanging out with the guys. Keep Tammy in your prayers. With all the traveling I hope she is able to rest as needed. She is a trooper and getting some good rest.
We finish up our discipleship this week as well. A recap to help keep the guys focused when they return to campus is in the works for the remainder of the time.
I have a'lot of stories left to tell and photos to update, but just got a call and need to run for the day. Check back later if you have nothing to do.
