HOMERUN!!!!!

Well if you read the title you know the ending, but let me start at the beginning. Today I went down to DeSoto for a baby shower for Luke. It was nice to see Johanna among others. Then we headed to the folks house for some family time with Daniel. We ate pop rocks and threw pop caps at each other. Then I went for a quick swim before heading home to make the trip out to Graham, traffic wasn't cooperating but I did make it home in time to leave for the game. Graham is about 1 hour and 45 minute drive so we don't go out there for most games but aren't we glad we made this one! We start with Matt hitting a foul right off his knee, which knocked him right to the ground, very scary to watch. He limped around a bit but shook it off and got a nice single. Then, in his next at bat, he comes up with 2 men on and yes, hits a homerun!!! Go MATT! After 2 deep fly balls last night, it was beautiful to see one go out. That scored runs 2, 3 and 4 and we went on to win the game 9 to 3, so he actually scored the winning run, as we didn't need the additional 5 we put up later in the game. He hit 2 for 4 with guess what, another hit by pitch, making his total officialy 9 for the season. This week has been incredible for him, making the All-Star team, having his mom and sister's surprise visit, getting a baseball scholarship for next year and then a homerun. The game was even a fast one at just under 2 1/2 hours so here we are, home before midnight even after the drive. Thanks for the great week Matt, keep up the good work.
