Well, Do we call him our HERO or our Superstar*?! Phillip played his last game of the season last night against the Aggies, who are a pretty good team, and it was a really good game.. Phillip usually is a 1st baseman or a 3rd baseman and sometimes a outfielder and he does very well playing those positions. This fall, Coach Keith has decided he wants him to play a few different positions and I guess you could say we are were a little bit uneasy. He put him at 2nd and it took a few games to learn that position and he did really good and then he put him at shortstop and he did ok there too and then he decided he wanted him to pitch... Oh NO! Phillip will tell you flat out "He is NOT a Pitcher" and he does not like to pitch, he said it is way toooo stressful:) Chuck and I sit there biting our nails and of course saying why do you have our son in there at the end of the game?uggggg.Well, last night was a TOTALLY different story. Phillip started the game and pitched the first 5 innings.. Are you ready for this?! The first 2 inning he struck all the batters OUT:) The 3rd and 4th inning, he only had 2 get on base and that is because they walked and the The Tigers got them out on base:) and then the 5 inning again Strike 1, Strike 2, Strike 3 as the ump yelled "YOU ARE OUT" and then he would yell WHOOO //HAAAA.. and of course I was screaming and jumping up and down screaming yeah!!!! That's my boy!!!Just in case nobody knew:) We were so excited for him and so proud and of course he was proud of himself too! His Coach wants him to get pitching lessons over the winter and come back stronger than ever! He is a great athlete if I must say so myself and we are so proud of him.. He has always played baseball since he could hold a bat and he has always said that he wants to be a Professional Baseball player..Who know? Our Motto for our kids is " YOU CAN DO AND BE ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT YOUR ALL!!" We Thank God for Phillip and his health and the ability to play baseball.Phillip is such a good kid and a true blessing and we love him so so much~~Oh and the final score was Tigers 10 Aggies 2! Yeah Tigers!! They had a great season and we are ready for Spring.. We met some great kids and great parents and we look forward to getting to know them better!!!
