September 25th update
We won! Bennett’s team beat Mt Vernon tonight in the regional tournament… 10 to 0 in 5 innings! Everyone on the team played awesome! We had no errors. Bennett had two walks and two singles. He made 4 steals and 2 runs. He got out once being picked off 1st base on a steal. He played left field and no balls went to him. This team beat us last time 2 to 8 so we were really proud of the boys for rallying back!
They play Monday night for the regional championship against Carmi! Bennett told me on the way home that he prayed 4 times during the game. He said he prayed to get a hit, he prayed that they win and he prayed twice that the end up going to state!
Before each game, the team runs out to the outfield and kneel down on their knees and say a prayer before the game. I asked Bennett who prays on the team and he said sometimes he does.
We are thankful that God has given Bennett the opportunity to play baseball and also do it well. It sure has lifted up his spirits and keeps him motivated.
Congrats on the big win—we are happy for you! Good Luck Monday! Love ya
Congratulations on the win! Doing great! It blessed my heart to hear that the boys pray before a game. That is awesome! I know that God is so proud of them and we are, too.
