My youngest’s (Justin’s) baseball team, the Mud Cats, won the Southwest Forsyth Little League coach pitch championship 19-18 in extra innings on Saturday.  Best of all for Justin is he ended the year with one of his best games, going 3-4 with a huge hit to left center in the last inning that put the winning run on second.  Two hits later his team won the whole enchilada.

In coach pitch normally if a kid makes contact he’s going to get on base.  The Mud Cats and the Sand Gnats were the defensive exception in the league.  Both teams made great plays in the field, so the kids really had to hit to get on base.  That’s why the last inning was so impressive;  it was the bottom half of the Mud Cats order and four straight kids hit the ball hard to drive in the winning run.

Many thanks to the coaches, who did a wonderful job teaching the boys the fundamentals and making sure the game was fun, win or lose.
