The 6 o'clock hour FINALLY arrived and Munk was ready to go.
The Blue Jay's started the game as visitors which put them up to bat. The first inning was a little scary with 3 up 3 down. Hayden started at 2nd base and boy did he "rip it up." With 2 tag outs in the first 5 minutes he had to feel pretty confident with his skills as a defender. Now he just had to prove he could play offense. He got 5 pitches and it was looking pretty bad with 2 foul balls and 1 strike. But Munk seems to perform his best under pressure and he cracked the ball in between 2nd and 1st base. Safe!
The rest of the game was a breeze for this Rookie. He was safe at every base and slid into home scoring for the Blue Jay's in the 2nd inning. With an unbelievable 2nd inning under his belt he got to take a "break" in Right Field, backing up 1st base and keeping all the balls from escaping the infield. The second time Hayden was up to bat he hit another amazing ball behind the 1st baseman. His lighting fast running skills helped him arrive at 1st base and was awarded a "safe" yell from the base coach!
It is a good thing this devoted player practices his running on a regular basis. Rumor has it, older brother and football star, Hunter Munk, has a lot to do with Hayden's running training. This young Rookie is defiantly one to keep your eye on! The Blue Jay's win this game 9 to 7 against the Red Sox. After the celebration Munk took a minute to talk to the fans and media, this is what he had to say about the game, " I think I did pretty good. The team played great. I was real nervous before the game started, but I said a prayer in the dugout and then I hit great and knew we would win." Stay tuned for Wed when #7 comes head to head with the Angels at Mueller Park Jr. High. The Angel's may be in need of a miracle if they want to beat team Blue Jay's.
The photographer that took this amazing slide at home has been fired due to the blurriness of the photo. But we thank them for their attempt! If you squint your eyes you can see Munk sliding into home! GO #7!

I loved the reporter that you had to cover the story!! Was he/she expensive? :) Gottal love sports season with all of the children in some kind of sport or another--oh wait, isn't that all the time??
Oh how I love baseball. The smell of the gloves, the feel of the bats, the dirt in your eyes. At least here. I think I even got some sand in my mouth. Yuk. Hurray for Hayden. Love 2nd base!
