Taking One For The Team

After this, we went to the game and Cooper took a shot for the team.

It’s the top of the last inning, and Coop’s team has 5 run lead. The first two get on base, the next guy rips a shot into center and it rolls right between the kids legs. 3 runs score.

So we now have a 2 run lead, runner at first. Any ball hit out of the infield is going to score both runs. So the kid hits a bullet towards third. Coop STEPS in front of it!!

It drills him in the chest, hits the ground, shortstop picks it up.

Coop stays there for a second then doubles over.

After coaches rub some dirt in it (and it left a good mark!), the next guy strikes out, the guy after that grounds out to Coop.

And to think, we’d miss that on the account of milk in the plate…
