For those of you who remember my thread from yesterday (which I've just deleted), I wanted to add the results of yesterday's game.

First round playoff game; we're the lower seeded team, playing against a team that's won our season series 2-1. Single elimination.

Jack Pitches a 1 Hitter! 12 strike-outs, 1 walk. We win 3-1.

Jack gets the game ball (1st one we've awarded all year) and gets to lead the team cheer.


We'll play again Saturday (against a HEAVILY favored team), and Jack will start, but whatever the result, he now has an experience that he will remember the rest of his life!

I've got tears in my eyes writing this.

PS I removed yesterday's thread because it was inappropriate of me to include details of a 3rd person's life (Jack's). Thank you all for your kind comments.
