In our household, spring has arrived with the advent of baseball season. If you, too, have a sports-obsessed child, you know this already.
Yesterday afternoon, my girl’s fave team, the Cleveland Indians, played their first game against the Chicago White Sox.
Here’s what she wrote this morning in her “reporter’s” notebook:
“In the eighth inning Casey Black hit a three-run double that bounced off the fence. Which putted the Indians a 10-7 lead. Also in the second inning the Indians got seven runs.
The Indians are in first place and the Tigers our division rival are in last place in our league. In the seventh inning the score was 7-7. The White Sox had us in danger there were runners in the corners with one out and Rafel Bentacourt was pitching to a good hitter but he struck him out to make two outs. Then the next hitter grounded out. Rafel Bentacourt got us out of a lot of trouble.
Then the White Sox didn’t get anything exciting.”
She needs to work on punctuation, but she’s a pretty good sports reporter. For a 9-year-old.

I have some connections with some Ohio newspapers that could use her.
Thanks, Catnap. She’d love it! She and her Dad and Granddad are heading up your direction in late summer to see the Indians play.
