Friendly Match

We had our first friendly match between Mukaa and Kilungu. Both of these teams are part of the original 5 that Jim, Special, and I started 5 years ago. They were both eager to get ready for the upcoming tournament so we scheduled for Mukaa boys to travel to Kilungu for a real baseball game experience.

Unfortunately the coach from Mukaa contacted us and said the school's bus is broken. Thinking quickly we decided to put their team and coach into our Land Rover and drive them to the other school. Well, I have been a bit worried about how the Turtle will handle 4 people...now with Jim, Joseph, myself, the Mukaa coach, and 9 players we had 13 people! But the Turtle proved itself and got everyone there to the game on time.

I coached the Mukaa boys and Jim coached the Kilungu team and we had a beautiful day for a baseballgame. Both teams are reallycoming along. The game ended at 1-0 in favor of Mukaa. I was very happy with the caliber of play and took it as a personal coaching victory as well.

We have three new schools the rest of this week. And hopefully we will take a break this weekend to go see some animals. Stay tuned!
