video of matt doing a baserunning drill.
he had to hit the ball, then two other players on the other team (posted up on first and third base) had to run after and touch the ball. when both “defenders” touched the ball, the baserunner was out and the total bases touched were counted (that’s why you hear “three!”
matty and andy played in their respective little league all star games today. andy made some great plays on the field and matt threw a 6-pitch, 1-2-3, 6th to get the save for his team.

video of matt pitching in the top of the 6th to close out the playoff game
i, along with every other parent, broke the “no cheering too loud” rule clearly. what can we say? we were pumped up! they played better than the professional team.
first time watching andy do work… what can i say? the kid can play. his fielding skills are great, good arm, and good bat contact — hopefully he gets his all star nomination! Read more »
so i shot this whole set with the fotasy 35mm lens attached to my trusty nex-3… being a novice, it can get tricky to focus on things — i’m so damn slow with it… but if you get it right, the results look awesome. dramatic is the word
great game for matty’s padres! 6-5 w (come from behind victory). great fundamental baseball and only three kids cried!
