THE AMAZING ZACHARY.....!!!!!
Tonight's game was amaZing (as Betsey would say). Zachary's team won the game in a 10 run lead. At the beginning of the game, we thought we would get rained out. There were tornado watches out, but no lightening. The rain stopped and the games began.
Zachary was the starting pitcher. Zachary had a no-run inning! When it was Zachary's turn to bat, he hit a line drive and got on first base. Eventually, he made it home and scored. The second time to bat, he hit the ball, but it looked like a bunt, the first base man got the grounder, but missed getting Zachary out by throwing it to the pitcher - so Zachary got on base.
Zachary pitched 22 pitches and finished the inning. Coach pulled him out so Zachary could pitch tomorrow. We have a tournament in Hobart starting tomorrow. The tournament is single elimination. So, if we lose tomorrow morning, we are done. If we win, and keep on winning, we could be playing all weekend.
At the end of each game, one of the players gets the baseball for his good efforts. Guess who got the ball tonight? Right, Zachary. He is the MVP of the night.
Usually after a win, they go to DQ. But, the lady in charge of snacks forgot. They had ice cream from the concession stand instead. Zachary didn't mind at all.
Dad had to leave the game early because tonight is Kindergarten graduation. Too bad he didn't get to see his awesome son play an awesome game. Maybe tomorrow.?.?.?.?.?.?

Let the record show that I WAS there for the first inning. So, I saw Zach throw his scoreless inning and get his first hit: a liner past the short stop. There was a man on third, so Z got an RBI out of it, too.
Great job Zach! I'll call you tomorrow to hear your side of the story!
