Good luck and fingers crossed.

Thanks for the crossed fingers! Weather held, if by held you mean it's okay wearing a sweatshirt, a coat, two blankets and gloves. And son had a good first outing. Gave up two hits, no walks, 5 strike outs and we won 4-1. Only run came on an error by third baseman.
My son from another mother had a rougher start to his season — started the game and did well, but we lost 4-0. It was a lesson in how a good catcher really matters. My son got to pick his, second pitcher had to take second string and it didn't go well.
But at last — baseball in Iowa is off and running!!
