Watched two wild baseball games yesterday after a beautiful Baptism and Confirmation at our Church. Our youth group is growing and that is so wonderful to see. Our youth choir, the Grateful Choir sang the National Anthem at a minor league baseball game yesterday. They do an awesome job, we did not get to see them though because Sprat had a double header at the same time. Sprat's team is off to a rough start this year but they came on strong yesterday and pulled two amazing wins. We had some unusual plays, to end the first game we had a triple play that began and ended at home plate. Yes, it was a legit triple play. Blooper fell right in front of the plate and a force out at home to start. Catcher throws to first and gets the batter out, then for some reason the kid that was on third came on home, so first baseman throws to get that kid out at home. Triple play! Awesome!! Wish I had it on video because it was crazy! Sprat made two great plays, one at first base and another at third. He did a super stretch and a pirouette to tag the kid out at first. They had a kid in a run down between home and third and Sprat stretched and got the kid out but the umpire called him safe and while Sprat was still laying on the ground at third the umpire looked back at him and smiled and said, "I know he was out and I missed it." I do not think many umpires would admit that one but this guy has been an umpire where our kids play for many years and he has watched our kids grow up and I guess he felt a little guilty. The very next batter the kid tried it again and this time Sprat got him out. Sprat played first, third and he pitched three innings in the first game. He loves playing ball.
I know that was a lot of play by play but these were two really exciting games.
It was a wonderful day.
