GOING, GOING, GONE!!!!!

HOME RUN SWING

What a weekend!!! Brian hit his first college home run!!! They played Atlanta Christian College 3 games, one last night and two today. Last night Brian went 3 for 5 with 2 singles, a double and an RBI. They won 13-3. His double was the game ending RBI that put them up 10 runs to end the game. Today in the first game he was the Designated hitter, and boy, did he hit it. His first at bat was a triple over the center fielder's head that one hopped the fence, and also was an RBI, putting them ahead 2-0. His next at bat was a long fly ball to right field that was caught and a run scored. His third at bat the count was 3-2 and in his word, the pitcher served up the perfect down the middle pitch. He hit it out over left field. You knew it was out when he hit it. I retrieved the ball and will add it to my collection :) They won 8-6.

Game two was even better. I got to see him play first base for the first time. He's really good. His bat continued to be hot. He had an RBI ground ball single, a pop up that scored 2 and was dropped by the short stop and he made it in to 2nd base. He made a great ground ball scoop at first to tag out the runner. The score was 12-3 in the fifth. They needed one run to end the game by run rule. Brian was first up to bat. He hit a drive to the right field fence that just dropped fair for another triple. His buddy Martin Dewald, who's from Manheim, Germany, was up to bat, hit a line drive single to knock Brian in and end the game. He asked me if it felt good watching baseball again. I said, "OH YEAH!" Man, I love to watch my boys do their things.!!

Isn't God good to bless us with great kids? More important than seeing him play ball is to see the respect his team mates have for him . I know he's right where he needs to be. I am a proud mama. Michael's doing great. He got his top secret security clearance this week so he can start working on the nuclear welding. Joseph started the police academy this week and passed all of his physical fitness tests with no problem. We go to the doctor Tuesday to find out if Sai's having a boy or girl. Wow, I am blessed.

I'll let you know Tuesday if we find anything out about the baby, and I'll be posting regular baseball updates as well.

God bless and keep in touch.
