It was the best high school baseball game I've ever seen. The LaSalle starter took a rocket line drive square off the ankle. He slammed his glove to the ground as he collapsed to the ground. Despite a noticeable limp he stayed in the game and pitched well.

We tied it late on a suicide squeeze and went ahead on a two out triple.

What is most memorable for me though is to see my boy and other kids, many of whom I've known since they were t-ball age, face a Goliath of a team and rise to a level of play they had'nt reached before.
