1 -2 - 3 - Strikes Your Out


Last night was a blast! We went to see Maui’s professional baseball team "Na Koa Ikaika", play against an Arizona team. My friend’s son, Donald, is one the pitchers and he pitched a shut out game the night before so he got to sit in the stands with us as he was charting pitches. Twin A was in all her glory getting the VIP treatment from Donald. He let her use the radar gun to track the speed of each pitch. He then gave the girls each a baseball which they quickly asked him to autograph. The girls were doing cheers in the stands and at almost 10 years old, were still fascinated by the mascot in a stuffed warrior suit. My husband was thrilled to have a guy to talk to about stats of the game. He had memorized Donald’s stats prior to leaving the house. We won the game 9-8. This professional baseball team just won the status of champions at the half way mark for the season.
