A Reason to Celebrate

Tonight, Jake played in the first game of the playoffs. They really struggled through the first 6 innings (they only play 6 innings!). In the bottom of the sixth, the score was 12 - 6. . . a sure loss. Not so!! They came back and scored 6 runs to tie the game and go into an extra inning. The other team did not make any runs and we did!! We won!!! It was by far the most exciting game of the season. Jake did well pitching. One inning was a no-hitter. He got a couple of good hits and got to slide a couple of times (his favorite thing to do as a ballplayer). We stopped at McDonald's on the way home for ice cream sundaes and then Jake caught his two biggest fans a lightning bug. (they got new bug houses at the dollar store and they just couldn't catch one on their own. . .good ole' Jake just reached out and caught one, and then another. . .a big hero tonight!!)
