June 29, 2008: Lugnut's End of Season Picnic

Nolan's Rookie League team, the Lugnuts, held their end of season picnic on the 29th, and Coach Sims was nice enough to present each kid with a pose-able trophy in addition to the Cheyenne Junior League Baseball medal they receive. Every kid on the team was able to hit pitches from the pitching machine (35 mph) by the end of the season! The kids were able to try to hit two pitches from the machine each at bat, and then had to try to hit off the tee if they missed the pitched balls.

The picnic included a slip-and-slide, which all the boys including Barrett had a good time with for cooling off on a hot afternoon.
