Take me out to the ball game

One of Justin's good friends from high school, Sean Doney, asked Justin to be on his softball team a few weeks ago. We weren't able to go to the first two because one landed on my birthday and the other one we just spaced it. Tonight we were finally able to make it and we were so excited. Justin loves sports and I love bragging about him. He is especially good at baseball. At first the game was not looking good the other team was up to bat and scored 9 runs in the first inning. We only scored 2 and were for some reason not able to catch balls. By the last inning we were only down by three and the bases were loaded with Justin up to bat. He saw the ball coming towards him and hit that ball out of the field! He won the game. It was a walk off grand slam! His two biggest fans were going wild in the stands. Ruthie was so excited she had tears running down her face.

I guess all those years of batting rocks paid off.

That is so cute. I wish you took a picture. Does Sean live close to you guys?

Way to go Justin! Wish we could have been there to see it! I'm going to be reading this entry to Jameson when he wakes up! He shares Justin's love for baseball. It sounds like I should have him start batting rocks?!

Good story! Tell Justin good job! Do you find it as hard as I do to attend all of Justin's softball games with a 4 month old? I spend the whole time at Kipp's games entertaining Bode! Were they really tears of excitement? I know that Bode started crying out of fear when Kipp got a little over excited at a Cowboys football game. Ha ha!
