World Series Final Game

After a long week of baseball games, Colby's last game was on Saturday morning at 8am. He had to be there at 7am, so there was no sleeping in for us. Up to this game, his team had not won a game yet. They had a heartbreaker of a game on Friday and lost by one point. Saturday's game was a nail biter. The boys played exceptionally well! It came down to the last inning. The game was tied and we had last bat. We had 2 outs, a runner on 1st and a kid at bat. The runner on 1st was stealing 2nd when the catcher tried to throw him out at 2nd. The ball was overthrown and it went into the outfield. Our runner that was on 1st made it all the way to home on the error. The boys were so ecstatic. A lot of us moms teared up. It had been a long week, and although nothing seemed to damper the boys attitudes, we all wanted a WIN so bad. The boys finally got their hard earned win and it was a great way to end the week.
