Leprechauns & Lakers

Leprechauns:
Jalen and Hunter played in front of the Prior Lake Mudcats (PL's amateur baseball team) and a nice audience. Before the game, Jalen was nervous because he was the starting pitcher.

We worked on (at home) his windup and I made a few adjustments to his form. When he took the mound, the first pitch almost went out of the stadium (a little nervous energy). He then settled in for a nice inning, striking out two and catching a lazy pop fly.

I wish I had a picture to show the smile on his face coming into the dugout.

Hunter also had a nice game catching behind the plate and showed a lot of hustle, running out a ground ball to second that looked like an easy play. Dad's chest was protruding out a bit after the events of last Thursday.

Lakers:
Kobe looked okay but they should have lost Game 2 of the Finals last night. If Lee makes the ally-oop with a second on the clock, they win and steal one from the Lakers.

It wasn't necessarily that the Lakers played terrible, but they missed some key defensive assignments, especially on Hedu and Lewis (Lewis had a great shooting night) and the Magic made some incredible shots.

As an Orlando fan, you have to be pleased with their turnaround performance from the thrashing they received in Game 1. Now, they have 3 games in Orlando, which will take some of the pressure off and give them a familiar surrounding in which to play.


Grace & Peace
