Game # 12 Mudcats -vs- The Thunder


I LOVE writing about a WIN ! Did I just give away the ending ? Well guess what I also get to write about ?? Our FIRST GRAND SLAM :-)


Yes, these days are so exciting ! Hard sometimes to look over at the other fields and imagine our Mudcats -- "OVER THERE" ! All grown up, getting their own Gatorade with their own money ( ok, that was dreaming ~ LOL ) and becoming Young Men ! Gezzz-- where did all that come from ! YES-- "REFLECTION" as the season winds down and tournament time approaches. I realize, it is VERY important to stay in the moment, stay grounded and focus ONLY on the very next game BUT I'm no longer the " PLAYER" , I'm the "Mom" !  I get to dream a little :-)


These boy's are so much fun! Seeing the rewards of practice, discipline, winning & loosing all pay off with a great hit, the walk up to the plate with confidence, a "web-gem" play or GRANDSLAM ! I LOVED seeing " Serious Sean" walk up to the plate with some swagger & confidence ! That was my favorite moment because the littlest Cats have really come into their own the past few weeks ! I hear, our Grey has started a new way to raise money for "VS- Cancer" -- to have money donated to NOT get shaved ! That's super creative :-) Oh & Marcus-- I love your walk up song !! "Every day I'm  Hustling"  ! LOL-- gotta love a good walk up song :-)


I bet you all would like some highlights from the game about now :-) Here you go !!


The Thunder have come a long way baby ! WOW-- I predict they will be a team to be reckoned with very soon !
1st Inning ~~ I wish you could see my notes, they start off with Jackson getting a lead off double. Braden, Will & Channing loading up the bases Jake with a solid hit and somewhere in there a GRAND SLAM BY " Big Red" CAMERON !!!!! WoooHooo The Cats loaded up the bases and Cameron cleaned them off !! DEFENSE-- 1~2~3 OUT !!! Ending this amazing inning 4-0
2nd Inning ~~ This one went "PDQ" -- Pretty darn quick ! Free advertising for special Mudcat's  family :-) Jay played some solid defense-- cat like reflexes and we were all done ready for the 3rd Inning !
3rd & 4th Innings ~~~~ Sometimes it's just earlier to blend a few innings. These two went PDQ as well. Braden came home to bring the score 5-0. Channing had a RBI double 6-0. Jay, Tino & Grey had solid hits. TIME FOR SOME DEFENSE and "WOW" then those Thunder boomers came alive ending the 4 thinning 6-5 ! Yes, you read this correct-- Mudcats 6- The Thunder 5 !
5th Inning ~~~~~ #34 got us started, Braden moved Action Jackson to 3rd with a great hit. WILL the "THRILL" put a RBI in the books. We ended this at bat run count to 7 ! Defense held the Thunder scoreless :-) Just the way we like it.
6th Inning ~~~~~~ Jake starts off with a double~ Jay RBI double, Tino a single and G-Mack all teamed up to give the Cats 9 total runs !
GAME OVER MUDCATS WIN 9-6 ! STICKERS ALL AROUND ! Will , Jay & Sean would get an extra Mudcat sticker for solid defense and
Cameron would get a Web-gem sticker for ummmm-- oh yeah-- a GRANDSLAM :-)
See you " CATS" Saturday for some fun in the sun, a 1:30 baseball game, some new haircuts ~ LOL ~ dunking a few Coaches in the dunking tank ( I might take a throw or two ) some food, fellowship and most of all~~ SOME SERIOUS FUNDRAISING and support for , The Vs. Cancer Foundation !
P.S.S-- Channing, I missed BOTH your homerun's-- Miss Amanda needs a THREE PEET please :-)
Action Jackson~~ if you hit your first homerun Saturday-- Mommy will go bald with you :-)
Anyone else up for the challenge ??
