Another Intense One!!!!!!!!

Those Pirates should be called the Cardiac Pack! They won their game against the Cubs tonight 6-5. They were up 3-0 until the 4th inning, then our great pitcher was up to his 75 pitches. So we put in another guy who hasn't had much practice. Unfortunately, he walked a lot of the Cubs. So by the 5th inning, the Cubs were up 5-3. In the bottom of the 4th, it started POURING, so I grabbed Brooks and Sadie and came home thinking they'd call the game. But they waited it out, raked the fields, and started back. Unfortunately, I missed my little boy's best inning in his entire Little League career! He hit a ball out into center field right over the pitcher and over 2nd base and into the grass in the outfield. It was his best hit yet! Our team rallied and came back 6-5. Cobe also caught an awesome catch at 2nd base to get a Cubs player out. Yep, I was sitting home pacing wondering how things were going when I should have been back at the game!!!! So finally I convinced Brooks and Sadie to go back to the field b/c the rain had stopped, but the game had ended. Yay for the Pirates!!!! We play in the championship game tomorrow afternoon against the Tigers. Once again, we'll have a pitcher problem, but hopefully things will go as they did tonight. We went to Vitale's after the game with the Vienings and Curtiss' and the two coaches said Cobe might even pitch once Coby Curtiss pitches his 75. Wouldn't that be something???? :-)
