Congratulations Cale!

So Cale has continued playing on our old ward's softball team since he started there and they went all the way to the tournament undefeated. Well, the tournament finals are this weekend and we will miss them and the sem-final game this Thursday. Cale is really bummed about this as he has really enjoyed the guys he plays with and the sport. Tonight was the final game for him and they were playing the "best" team in the league. Our church actually combines our stake with the Taylor stake (right next to us) and also allows other churches not of our faith to play too. The game tonight was against one of the other best teams out there, one of these other churches. They gave us a run for our money (ok, the games are free, but you get it...). At one point we were down 17 runs. They call the games at 20 runs ahead. We have always been on the other side, never down. Well in the last couple innings, the guys rallied and came back to be ahead 18-17 and then the other team had bats and scored 4 runs. We luckily had last bats and needed 4 runs to win. The first two outs came way too quickly which left Cale batting with 2 out and still 2 runs down. He'd had a good night all night but this hit was the most important. Emma and I were praying, "Just don't get out, Just don't get out." We knew Cale would be devestated to lose the game and not get to play again. The first pitch came and Cale took it. It was a high ball deep to left field. Emma and I began chanting, "Please be over his head, please be over his head..." It was! Cale batted in all 3 runners and cleared 3rd base as they called the game! Way to go Cale! We are so proud of you. The stands went crazy. Everyone was screaming and cheering for Cale! Emma started cheering "Daddy, Daddy." We love you Cale and just wanted to share your fun night! If you can't compete in the tournament this weekend at least you went out with a bang!!
