Ryan's Little League Season - Spring 2010

This was Ryan's 5th season in Little League. The core of group of boys from Tball are still together and moved up to Minor A division this season. The included stealing, umpires, no coach's on the field, etc. Most of our team was 9 yr olds playing against mostly 10-11 yr olds. They really did well and finished the season with a .500 record.

Ryan continued to pitch this season and also discovered he's a pretty good outfielder.
