Sue had a need for sports photos for her ongoing photographic daily picture project. It happened that the kids' dad was plying ball that night. It was a type of Slo Pitch, and Eric was his team's pitcher. The pitcher throws the ball in a big arc; if it were to hit a big board (much bigger than the traditional home plate) it would be a strike.
He hit the ball and headed to first base.
Eric, subsequently, reached second base and then headed to third. He went on to score.
It was a fun, little outing. Eric did very well for a 50-year-old; Sue got her needed pictures; and, Johnny Boy got some blog fodder.
=======================
Oops, Sue got some photos too. She uses her fancy collage app well. Does anybody recognize the geezer in the last photo?

Great shots! Love the collage!
Action shots! I love how sue coopts the family as models.
Great shots and it looks like fun, but so glad it is them and not me! I could not run to save my own life if I had to.
These are great. The red jerseys really add pop to the scenes. Kudos to Eric!
That's me, taking the pictures while others provide the action. Your cat shirt is great. Loved all these sequential shots.
Blog fodder is where it's at! Happy Thursday. xoxo
A great excuse to get out and watch some slowpitch/slo pitch. It looks like such fun! Love your shirt!
Good action shots.
Nice action shots. A bit slower than your hockey pics.
Looks like a fun time for all. I've heard it's hard to hit a slow-pitch soft ball because it's coming down at a steep angle.
Your shirt may say "grumpy" but IMO your hat says "cool grandpa."
It is such a fun sports to photograph. Pity baseball is not popular in OZ
The assignments certainly give the photographer a challenge.
Sports action shots can be challenging you'll know, AC, from your hockey game shooting. Sue did a great job and collages are a nice touch. I did recognize that fellow in the final photo too!
No, who is that?
Very nice photos! And I'm fairly new here but I blew up the picture and the bearded mystery man seems to resemble George Clooney. Do I win?
Well done, all round!
Impressive. And the last shot gave me a chuckle. Mostly for your expression. WHAT were you thinking?
I don't think anyone would get into an argument with that umpire!
Yes, I recognize him! I used to love playing ball!
