My son Justin’s baseball team, the AA Timber Rattlers of Southwest Forsyth Little League, won their tournament championship yesterday. To make the victory even sweeter Justin went 1-2 at the plate, hitting a single in his first at bat. Since he’d been hitless in the first two games of the tournament and had been having trouble making contact it was great to see him get that hit. Even better, he was aggressive in both of his at-bats after he’d become tentative in the earlier two games. We had a long talk at breakfast about swinging hard and not being afraid to miss and the kid showed great gumption by going up there in front of a rowdy crowd and taking some really hard cuts. What a great way to end the season.

Oh, yay for Justin! What position does he play? Congratulations, that is exciting!
Never played for any championship team,

He mostly plays catcher and outfield, with a few stints at third base. This is only his second year of baseball and he’s already been on two championship teams. He was also on a championship soccer team when he was seven years old. The kid is definitely a lucky charm.
