Homerun for Hayden!!

Tonight was the first game in the playoffs for the Blue Jays. The first inning was brutal for both teams. 3 up 3 down. There seemed to be a problem with the pitching machine and the crowd yelling for a time-out. That is when #7 that young Rookie we have been following stepped up to bat. With the bases loaded and the crowd grumbling, Hayden hit the ball into right-field. It was the hit of the night. The crowd cheered as he rounded 1st, rounded 2nd, rounded 3rd, and crossed home plate with time to spare. Homerun! The score 4 to 0.

In the second inning coach put #7 Hayden Munk on the pitchers mound hoping to stop some slow going grounders. Well that is just what he did, the first hit off the bat was a low line drive and Hayden snagged the ball with a quick sweep of his glove and gunned it to 1st base! All the coaches dropped their jaws at that play! 2nd hit off the bat was a grounder right to #7, he scooped it up and threw it to 1st-OUT!

The game ended with a score of 9 to 0 for the Blue Jays advancing them to the playoffs tomorrow night at 5pm. They play the Giants and it will be a nail bitter for this young team. Hopefully #7 will be on his game and can bring them another win to take the Blue Jays to the finals friday night!
