Oh my gosh - it was a great game and Zach and his team really showed up. The final score was 12 to 9 with "The Volcano's" ERUPTING!
So the game started with "The Volcano's" (Zach's team)...up to 2 to zero for the first few innings. Then, the score moved to 5-9 in no time and Zach's team was behind by 4. With 2 outs already Zach started the beginning of the winning runs for his team and from there they never looked back and they never gave up. But, in fact they came back and added 7 more runs and the other team never scored another run!
Zach played catcher and worked with his pitcher to get 1, 2, 3 outs straight in one inning and he did a terrific job. They really played as a team and never quit. Once they realized they won the Championship the looks on their faces were priceless.
It was such an emotional, back and forth game...Jim almost had a heart attack and I cheered so much I thought for sure I'd go into labor right there. We couldn't even sit down, it was so intense.
We are so proud of Zach and his team - we'll post some pics later - we definitely have a lot but right now we are exhausted...well at least I am. The game started at 6.15pm and finally finished at 8.50 pm. Of course after that we had the presentation of the trophies to the Champions and then the trip to Diary Queen for the Champs. We finally arrived home well after 10 pm and then no one could sleep! What a great game and great ending to the season!
Way to go Zach...we are so proud of you!! (In the pic above - Zach is the biggest kid in the front row, sitting up in the center.)
