Baseball - Ukrainian style

At the orphanage, there is a group of Americans from California that are staying for two more weeks. It seems that the purpose of their visit is to teach the children bible stories - since they are from a baptist school - but they do other activities with the kids. Today they were trying to teach the kids how to play baseball. Alex, being the pro-softball coach now after helping to coach Allie's team for the last two years, stepped in to help show the kids how to swing a bat. They were playing with a tennis ball, which being lighter than a baseball might account for the boy pitching being able to throw the ball so fast that it was almost impossible to hit (even Alex struck out!). Somehow the game ended up with six bases and the second boy that managed to make a hit ran straight to second base (or maybe it was third?) because there was a boy on first base and why would you want to run to a base that already has somebody on it? I think the baseball lessons need some work :)
