EXTRA! EXTRA!

Just wanted to share how very proud we are of Chancellor! A few weeks ago he wrapped up his regular baseball season and was selected to play All Stars. His normal position is first base but since being placed on All Stars he was put in the catcher's position, one he has never played before. Well he took to it like a fish in water and loves it. This past weekend started his regional All Stars tournament. His team played their hearts out Friday night but ended up coming short of the win. Saturday morning Travis went and got him a really nice new catchers mitt and spent the day breaking it in, in hopes that Chancellor could warm up with it Saturday night and use it during the game. Needless to say, Chancellor was thrilled with the new mitt and couldn't wait to use it. Saturday night rolls around and the weight of the game being a lose and that's the end of the season or win and keep playing for a chance at the title was on every ones mind. Chance's coaches decided that while he did pretty well with his new glove, he better stick to the old one for the game since he was used to it, well he was pretty disappointed and so was his daddy. In the final inning of the game, Daddy overrides the coaches and lets Chancellor use his new catcher's mitt (Chance's team was winning 5-2). The opposing team caught up to 5-4 with 2 outs an a man on 2nd (tying run). Batter gets a hit to the outfield, outfielder relays to third baseman, third baseman relays to home and Chancellor makes the tag at the plate for the game saving out! The crowd went nuts! Chancellor was all smiles and spent the rest of the evening getting thumbs up and high fives along with the game ball. So tonight is game 3 and I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. Once again, we love you Chancellor and are so proud of you making All Stars this year!
