Today was the semi-final game, and Casey's team drew the "visitor" position, so they batted first, and didn't score in the first inning. Bottom of the first, and the opposing team scored two runs while Casey's team made a few defensive errors and seemed a little rattled.
Second inning, Casey's team got two runners on, but had two outs by the time Casey came up... And he hit a solid single to center field but actually got to second base on the throw to home -- where the team scored two runs to tie the game. With the next batter up, Casey advanced to third on a wild pitch and then home on the hit.
My kid changed the whole tenor of the game. He drove in the tying runs and scored the go ahead run, and the team never trailed after that.
They play in the final tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Beau leaves tomorrow for three weeks of camp. It's so gratifying that he's eager to go to camp. And so unbelievable that he is so grown up.
