STATE CHAMPS!
Happy after the big win.

We went to the Washington State Softball tournament this weekend and we won! We won 5 games in a row to win it all. With the team we currently have, we've won 3 tournaments and haven't lost a game, 13-0. 15 of the top church affiliated teams went to this tourney and we thought we had a good shot. Chels and I went up with Todd, Charee, and Grady on Friday and we stayed in a nice holiday inn in puyallup. We had a game late friday night and it ended crazy. We were tied with a man on 2nd and 1st with one out. Blair hit a grounder to the shortstop who tossed it to the 2nd baseman to turn a double play. The 2nd baseman ended up chucking the softball right into Kevin's head about 5 feet away from him! There was a loud smack and the ball went straight up in the air. Tony Langdon ended up scoring and we won. Kevin is ok, turns out he has the worldest hardest head and there wasn't even hardly a bump the next day. Chelsea was really happy the whole weekend because her husband is such a stud AND the new Stephenie Meyer book "Breaking Dawn" came out. She is currently on page 465 and she has had the book 33 hours.....Anyway, we won 3 games to get to the championship and honestly we didn't even hit that well, our defense carried us. The championship game was awesome. I started off the day with a solo home run to left, our teams first of the tourney. They ended up scoring 7 their first time up to bat, so we were down 7-1 and throughout the game we slowly chipped away at the lead. David Andersen(Bash Brother #1) hit an in the park home run in the 6th to put us up by one. Tanner ended the game with the play of the day. He dove to his right and from his butt tossed the ball to Tony to barely get the out and we won the championship. Jeremy was our MVP, he had a great tourney. Eric Bozorth, Me, Tanner, and Brad Hirai were the other All-stars. We have a northwest national tournament coming up in september....hopefully the magic will continue!
