Logan's in the Park HOME RUN!

The baseball season is in full swing. Logan is playing AAA with Dulles Little League. He is on the Phillies with Coach Rick. They played their 3rd game of the season last night and even though it was their first loss, Logan was flying high!  It was a gorgeous evening. About 70 degrees, close to sunset. It was Logan's last at bat and he smacked the ball. It went sailing toward right field and bounced and rolled toward the fence. The outfielders were chasing the ball, but Logan was chugging around the bases. He easily rounded first and second. Kept coming for 3rd. The 3rd base coach, (his dad) told him to keep running. He headed for home and slid into the plate, just as the catcher bobbled and dropped the ball. SAFE! He jumped up and pumped his fist and the crowd went wild! It was an electrifying moment in a game that was otherwise lacking moments to cheer for. The final score was 17-5, but you would never know it by looking at Logan's face. He was smiling from the brim of his hat to the spikes on his cleats!
