What you might ask would the title to this post be referencing? It's all about Memorial Day baseball.
Game 1: RiverCats come out strong, scoring 10 runs in the second inning, and going on to beat the Narrows Baseball Club for the first win of the tournament. Josh goes 2-3 with a hit by pitch and an RBI.
Game 2: We played one of the better 13 year old teams in the state - the Brewers. There are three kids on this team that Josh has played with before, two on all-stars and one played on his team for the past two years. This team is composed of kids from all over Seattle (North/South/East/West) and is truly a powerhouse. Maybe I'm saying all of this because we got crushed 15-0. Josh went 0-1 with a perfect sacrifice bunt.
Game 3: The RiverCats played one of their best games of the season. Going into the final inning of the game, we were up 2-1. (To give perspective, the SBA Yankees, took the Brewers into extra innings before finally losing by one run.) The RiverCat problem was that two of our best pitchers were unavailable. One with a sore arm and the other on a Caribbean cruise with his family. When our pitcher's arm went "noodly" we had to go with one of our non-regulars. He promptly walked the bases loaded and gave up a bases-clearing double. Ouch! We lose 6-2.
Josh goes 1-1 with a double, a walk and another sacrifice.
Game 4: Playing Power Alley, we are officially depleted of pitchers. Our strong-armed SS pitches after a few minutes of instruction from the coach, but it was the first time that he had pitched - ever. Pretty tough situation for the team. We have six strong pitchers, but without two and the others being used already, you bring in the hardest thrower on the team and try to teach him to pitch a half hour before the game. We lost 8-4. Josh went 2 for 2 with a walk and 2 RBI's.
So, we go 1-3 in the tournament and Josh hits .714. That was Memorial Day Weekend for the Kuest family.
Oh yeah, after the final game we had a big family picnic to celebrate Leslie's 40th birthday! She gets to test the water on the 40's and let me know what it's like before I get there in October.

Happy Birthday, Leslie! Wish I could give you 40 hugs, but I'll send 40 good thoughts instead. Remember, Oprah says 40 is the new 30, so you're really just going back 10 years. :)
Happy Birthday Leslie, I hope you got your birthday present in the mail on time this year instead of 40 days late like last time. LOL
Sweetie you are so young especially if you hang with people older than you!
Enjoy every moment! Dean be nice because your day is coming!
Happy Birthday Leslie!
Wow I love the new face lift on your blog. Way to go! I hope the birthay girl is still celebrating!
