Although it wasn’t a great game for the team (the Mavericks lost), Jack got to pitch in his first travel game ever!!
It was freezing cold (49 degrees in the second inning), but he did a fantastic of pitching.
Jack came in midway through the third inning and threw about 15 pitches. He had one strikeout and gave up two hits, but didn’t give up a run and got them out of the inning. He’s really wanted to pitch for a while, but only got a chance to pitch in rec ball last year.
I’m sure he’ll pitch in rec this year too and that will help him gain confidence so he can pitch some more in travel.
Kevin was oozing so much nervousness when Jack was pitching that I was worried Jack would pick up on it from the mound, but Jack just swaggered out there and started throwing like he’s been doing it all his life. I can’t wait to see him pitch next time.
