Jack’s always talking about hitting a home run. He asked if he could get $20 every time he hit one. I (Mom) told him I’d give him $20 for a Grand Slam but not every home run!! So, here we are at Game #2, bottom of the 6th inning, 2 outs and bases are loaded and Jack’s up to bat. We are losing by 5 runs. Jack’s hitting has been so much better this year. He’s very solid. He gets up to bat, let’s the first one pass and then POW…he hits an awesome in-the-air ball that goes right inside the fence. Everyone takes off running and Jack is flying! By this time, we are all screaming. He’s heading towards 3rd base where Sam Duggan is coaching and Jack doesn’t even look up. Drew Duggan is in front of him and Jack’s on his tail. He gets to home plate just as
the ball does and he’s SAFE! GRAND SLAM!!!!! He’s so excited. We are so excited! They are all in the dugout cheering. I run to the dugout and tell him we owe him money! His response – “Were the bases loaded?” :-) He didn’t even know it! He said Dad promised him $50 for a Grand Slam!!! We ended up losing by 1 point but what an exciting ending. He’s been on Cloud 9 ever since. We got in the car and he called everyone…Grandma and Papaw in Florida, Grammie, Greg and Billie and finally Devyn. It was great!!!
