Andrew Paul Blankinship, a member of the Stillwater Snakes baseball team, called last night about 8:45pm and reported to Grandma Moffat and I that he had a great ball game but was kind of sad cause no one saw how good he did... including Grandpa and Grandma and .... Madison was busy playing, and Mom and Dad were busy ....
but.....
BUT....
He hit a home run and then ....
in the same game...
he said he caught the ball a boy on the other team hit and made the other boy out!!!
It went about 11 feet in the air he reported and he was a bit embarrassed as everyone was looking at him... and one of the biggest team mates of his ran over and picked him up and that scared him a bit... and they fell to the ground with excitement! He reported he was playing short stop at this point in the game... He was very excited...
He accomplished both in one game and he was on top of the world, and we were very very happy for him. What an exciting call to get. He made our day! He said he ran the bases really fast too. We are excited for him.
It was Madison's day on Sunday and Monday evening belonged to Andrew Paul!
Congratulations Andrew, great GREAT game! Hope you have many many more!
UPDATE:... and correction:
Andrew was wrong on who missed seeing the catch: The only one that missed the catch was Daddy, Heather saw it, Great Grandma, Aunt Marilyn, Grandpa and Grandma Blankinship and the other parents of the teams...
