UPDATE!!



They did it! Lewes' 9-10 All Star team won the championship last night! And they did it at home in front of a packed house. But wait, there's more. Actually, it's the best part. Allow me to paint the picture for you. Championship game. Top of the 6th. (which at this level is the last inning) 5-5 tie. First up? Matthew. First pitch. Taken strike. Second pitch. Swinging strike. Third pitch. Foul ball. Fourth pitch...... Wait for it...... Wait for it......Matthew swings. It's a monster shot to deep right field that rolls all the way to the wall! Stand up triple! And the crowd goes wild! Our next batter gets walked. Our third batter hits into fielder's choice and drives Matthew home for the go ahead run. Eventually our second batter scores as well and we go into the bottom half of the inning ahead 7-5. I must say though, the other team made it interesting. They eventually loaded the bases with two outs. Batter at the plate strikes out looking. Game over. What a night. As I said in my last post, God has a plan for everything, and boy did he have one last night. It was such a great feeling after Matthew was standing up on third base, A bunch of other Dads came over to me, high fiving, shaking my hand. "Did you see that?! What a shot!" Truly a night to remember. Here's a link to the story.

In other news, we have a new addition to our family. It's an eleven week old golden retriever. His name is Izzy. He is all energy, all the time. And he loves the water. He's already jumped in the pool. Pictures to follow. Also, we're right in the middle of Collin's tournament. Right now, we're fourth out of seven teams. But we've worked out some bugs and some jitters and should make a good run at it. I'll keep you posted.

That's all for now. Gotta go to work. More ball to play tonight! Bye.
