Caleb is CHAMPION!

My nephew Caleb's team won the 13-14 year old baseball championship last night. What a game! With the score seeming to indicate that a second game would be needed we were about to leave. We thought that we would get a bite to eat and get back to the park for the second game (Caleb's team has to be beat twice by the other team). Well, as I am walking away one of the Grasshopper teammates hit a homerun. Caleb's team is within 2 runs going into the final inning. Caleb would be leading off the bottom of the 6th (last inning). He had not been on the bases thus far. He came to the plate and battled like a champion and walked. It started the rally which would see the Grasshoppers make an incredible comeback and win by 1 run. Awesome! I was extremely proud of Caleb for battling at his atbat. Tough situation and he came through like a champion.
Congratulations to all of the Grasshoppers (big hit by Jess Cooper to win the thing)! You are #1.

Oh, I failed to mention that my brother, Tony was the head coach. Good job coaching(even if you did get the first potential tying run thrown out at home in the 6th). It all worked out and what a night for the Brown family. We were all there (mom/pop, sister Debra with her husband, John and daughter, Chloe and Tony's wife, Julie and daughter, Anna Jane) to celebrate the big win.

Good job Caleb and Tony. It was a awesome game (especially since you won) and all of the Grasshoppers can remember this night for days to come.
