Opening Day on a smaller scale

The big leaguers opened on Thursday and their younger counterparts in the Rainier District Little League got things started today.
Leading off the day was an early morning parade for all the teams.

Meet Sam’s T-Ball team, the Blue Dragons

And here’s Max’s Rockets ready to blast off.

Rockin’ the eye black

Max’s first at bat against a kid pitcher. He led off and got hit in the wrist on the very first pitch.

He was fine and finished out the day playing two games and collecting a hit, a couple of walks and lots of pizza afterwards.
