Joe had a great night. His team defeated Holly Pond 7-6 in the most exciting game of the year. Joe came up to bat twice but he was officially 0 for 1. The first at bat he lined a hard shot to shortstop. The game was tied 3-3 after regulation. Holly Pond scored 3 runs in the first extra inning. It didn't look good for Vinemont because they had a hard-throwing pitcher who throws a lot of strikes coming in to close the game. Vinemont was not to be denied, though! They hit the ball tremendously and came back to tie the score. Joe then came up to bat with two outs, and the winning run at third. He was behind in the count after two line drive foul balls. Then the pitcher threw a wild pitch, the runner came in from third, but turned around after the ball bounced right back to the catcher. The catcher tried to throw the runner out at third but overthrew the third baseman and the Vinemont runner came home with the winning run! It was great fun for the boys. I joked with Joe that I was giving him credit for the game-winning RBI. I was telling Joe's coach that they have really improved as the season has progressed. This was their third win in a row.
Matt played with the other kids during Joe's game and had practice after Joe's game.
David hung out at the park with us awhile before leaving to watch some dancing show on TV. I told him that his Aunt Cara was probably watching the same thing.
