Wait, Thunderhead

Wait - To remain or rest in expectation.

The game before ours went into extra innings, so our game was delayed about 45 minutes. Then our game went long. The championship game was played after ours, which started a full hour plus late.


If you don't want to hear a proud mom/coach's wife go on and on about a great baseball game, stop reading. You have been duly warned. As I said, we got a late start since the earlier game went into extra innings, so our team had a lot of time to stand around. We trailed most of the game, and as home team we had last ups. We must have been down by 3 runs. The bases were loaded, between a few decent hits and a few walks, when one of our boys stepped up and hit a grand slam! Game time expired, and as home team, all we needed was 1 more run, so that was it. We were playing for 3rd place, and I think those boys were as thrilled as if they had won first place! It was all very exciting and fun to watch.

Jack and I stayed to watch the championship game because one of Jack's friends was on one of the teams. That game went into 2 extra innings, with Jack's friends team coming back from 6-2 to winning 16-12, scoring 10 runs in the final inning! Because of all the late starts from the earlier games, the championship game didn't get started until 9:30, and finished up at 11:40. It was a long night on a very hard metal bench, but it was a fun night.

More rain. I really do LOVE a good thunderstor, but come on! I need a good dose of summer to truly appreciate the rain, and we just haven't had that this month. I did finally turn on my AC yesterday (until it started to rain) and the day before, but that is all it has been on this year. I think tomorrow is supposed to be better.
