Triple

Hooray to Pete for hitting a ball all the way to the center field wall in yesterday's baseball game. And hooray to the small band of severe thunderstorms for passing about 1 mile north of the field, so the game was not cancelled.

The triple Pete got yesterday is what Dad calls a "natural triple". There is another way to get a triple in Pete's league, which is to get a single, walk, or hit by a pitch. This is because the players are allowed to steal second and third on wild pitches, and the catchers are not capable of throwing anyone out, so whenever Pete gets a walk Dad can be heard yelling out "that's as good as a triple", to the befuddlement of the other parents.

Pete's team (Yankees) won, to remain comfortably in first place.

Dad and Sam played a variety of activities during breaks in the game. After the game, of course it was kids eat free night at IHOP.
