Azia was sporadically excited about the game. She paid attention most of the time she was actually playing, but she was more interested in fixing her hair so it would look good in her hat and picking out the right color socks than she was in warming up. She caught on how an actual game worked by the end (for the most part anyway), but I don’t think anyone ever explained the concept of base running before her first time at bat. After she hit the ball it didn’t occur to her to run. She just wanted them to keep putting the ball on the tee so she could hit a few more times. Once I yelled at her to run she just kept going, passed first, rounded second (and her teammate standing there), and continued on to third before she heard me yelling at her to come back. (I don’t think anyone else even noticed. They were already on to the next batter.) She went back to first, but when it was time to run after the next hit, instead of heading for second base she just ran to some random spot between first and second and stopped to wait for the next batter.

Luckily, by her second at bat she had it nearly figured out.

Jenna had exactly the same batting and base running approach as Azia. She also continued all the way to third (passing her other teammates) after hitting the ball. And then she also stopped at the very same random spot between first and second, too. Like Azia she thought reading the books I had with me was a more interesting activity than sitting on the bench when she wasn’t playing.

She did some good fielding when the ball came to her. And she also practiced some dance moves when there wasn’t any action out her direction. 

Daij is pretty much the team stud. He did about 70% of the fielding for the team.  He is the fastest to get to wherever the ball is hit and he is one of the only ones that can throw far enough to get it back towards home from the field. He also is the team power hitter. He bats last. Since the whole team bats every inning in t-ball, if you bat last it means you hit a homerun or you don’t get to score. So he just hit homeruns. The field picture is him running the bases (and catching his teammates) as everyone on the Ronan team chases the ball (that he just hit over their heads) down the hill . 

Isaac was most interested in the snacks for most of the game, though he did head out to third base to help Hunter during one of the innings.
