Brenham Baseball Tournament





We had a baseball tournament over the weekend and one of the games turned out so well, we had to write about it. Jack was the starting pitcher and ended up pitching all 5 innings. He led most of the game until the last inning. The other team pulled ahead by 2 runs. But luckily, we were home team. We got a couple hits and got people on the bases. They got an out here and another there. We were able to tie the game with 2 outs and a man on 3rd base. The other team walked a batter intentionally to create a force. Buddy was up next. (Remember, Buddy is playing up on Jacks team so he is by far the youngest one, not to mention quite a bit smaller). They pitched him a ball first. Then pitched him a strike. The coach gave him the "hit" sign and that's exactly what he did on the next pitch. Fly ball between the centerfielder and the right fielder. He hit in the winning run and the team ran out to first base and mauled him. They all tackled him to the ground in a mound. When he got up, he had the biggest smile on his face. I think it was the happiest I have ever seen him. So Jack got the win because Buddy hit in the winning run in the last inning. It was a great game. It's great to be the Dad of the 2 stars in the game. April was hooting and hollering from the stands. I will put up some photos of the game. By: Wes
