Evan's First Official Baseball Game

Kingwood, TX (AP) - Today the Kingwood YMCA baseball season kicked off with a bang at Elm Grove Elementary Field. The YMCA Sharks, anchored by rookie short stop Evan Williams, provided all of the scoring in this rain-shortened match. The Sharks managed to score all 5 of their runs in the top of the 1st inning with two outs.

Rookie phenom Evan Williams went 0 for 1 at the plate but displayed some very aggressive swings. When he does connect with a pitch, it's going to go a long way. Williams flashed some pretty impressive leather on defense. He quickly scooped up the only ball that came his way to hold the batter to an infield single. Evan wisely threw the ball to the pitcher after realizing the runner was already safe at first base.

In the top of the second inning, lightning in them thar hills called for a 15 minute delay, and when more lightning flashed across the skies, the game was declared a rainout.

Fun was had by all, and here are some pictures of the grand occasion.
