O.K. Devin has struggled this season at bat. He has hit the ball - but has had more strike-outs then hits. Tonight was the second round of playoffs (If they win this game they advance to the final game). We were in extra innings (9 & 10 year old's play 6 innings in regulation). So the game is tied 1 to 1, it's the top of the 7th, there are two outs and a runner on 2nd and 3rd - Devin's up.
First pitch - ball one.....Second pitch - ball two.....Third pitch - strike one (looking).....Count - 2 and 1.....Fourth pitch - CRACK!!!
Devin hits a line drive between the first and second baseman. BASE HIT! BOTH runners score. We go AHEAD 3 TO 1. Then we hold them at the bottom of the 7th. Three up - three down (one strike out, two ground outs). We win because of Devin's hit! As you can imagine, Brenda and I were going nuts! Devin was, and still is, grinning ear to ear and cannot stop talking about it!! The kid is soooo pumped right now. His coach did a very cool thing and gave him the game ball! It has been an AWESOME CELEBRATION!!
