He Went Yard! It's a Dinger!

Whatever slang you want to use it was incredibly awesome and a long time in the waiting!!!!

Today, during a Canes tournament against a Florida Juco team Lance didn't just hit his first HOME RUN but he hit a GRAND SLAM!  I was in shock at first, I couldn't follow the ball well with the cloudy skies, then I saw the outfielder stop running and slump.  I asked to the general audience "Did it go over?!" and got back a loud "YES!!!!!"  I felt silly but I started dripping tears of joy!  Here's the video of the whole event.  He looks so professional, like he's done it a million times before, but it you look closely you'll see my little boy, in his big body, skip and do a small fist bump as he rounds second base.

Chris was listening to the game on the computer and he calls to get the details; totally overwhelmed with emotion as well.  Since Frank had come to the game I joked with him he was now required to attend all games.  Chris estimates that it went about 350 and he only scooped it.  One of his teammates who wasn't playing at the time went and found the ball the brought it to him.  

When we came home the house erupted again, they had made posters and Jared had already texted a bunch of people, we were all so truly excited to see him step ever closer to his dream of playing the MLB today!
