The Watts' Adventures

This July 4th weekend, like most, we can be found at a ball field. Michael's Major League All star tournament started this weekend in Halifax. Most of my readers know that Michael has been in a hitting slump and last night we hope that he came out of it. He struck out his first 2 times at bat, and the third time he hit a homerun! I was the happiest mom in the world and I'm sure you could hear me all the way in Scottsburg! I wasn't celebrating the fact that he hit the homerun, I was celebrating the fact that he hit the ball. He could have hit it back to the pitcher and gotten out at 1st and I would have been just as excited. The action photographer captured the moment for us. He got a picture of Michael hitting the home run ball! I had told Hunter before the game to get all the homerun balls and return them to their parents, but instead, he took Michael and Tripp's homerun ball and exchanged it for a free drink and hotdog!!!! So from now on, he gets $10/game for food & drink so that he makes sure he gets the actual balls to the players... geez The league did give Michael a ball for his homerun... Unfortunatly it wasn't "the one", but that's ok! Dr. Schacht came just in time for Michael to knock that ball out so he has become our good luck charm! He has really supported our team this year and loves to watch all the boys play!

Oh, guess you want to know who won?? We did 23-2 !! We had 2 homeruns and a grand slam! Tonight will be tough and we will have to be on our toes. If we win sub-district we go straight to state this year. Wish us luck and I'll try to keep this updated!
Go HCS!!!!
