Hey Y'all! Tonight was such an exciting night for us at the baseball diamond. The coach decided at the last minute to give Adam a chance at the pitcher's mound and he was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Of course he threw some a little high or off. And of course he walked a few players. The bases were loaded, from the players he walked. There were two outs already and wouldn't you know that he struck out the batter for the third and last out of the game. It was so wonderful to see his face light up every time the referee said out! Adam told us that when he did throw the pitch a little off the ref was back there giving him encouraging words. There were even a couple of times that he psyched out the runners so they wouldn't try to steal the base. He also did a phenomenal job at running up to home plate when the catcher missed the ball. This kept the runners from trying to come into home. So even though he walked them, he didn't once give them a chance to score a run. Equally amusing to watch was Todd pacing around on pins and needles verbally expressing his anxiety. His face was also beaming when it was done. And, he got the game ball for doing such a great job! Way to go Adam!! (The photos and video are from Todd's phone but I think they still show how awesome he was.)
