We went south for day 1 of our spring break to watch the Stanfield Tigers take on Rainier in a rematch of last season's semifinal match-up. We parked and Mitch took off for the dugout, with a big grin. The boys, bless them, greeted him with high fives and cheers. He was in his element!
Mitch took up his station on the bucket and commenced chattering.
He usually remembered to retrieve the bats.
They won game one and Mitch celebrated with fist bumps.
It was emotional watching him blend seamlessly into the rhythm on the team.
He was "all in"
and spent time working on his grass stains between innings!
The weather wasn't awesome but the boys played hard throughout.
Mitch was cheering, "Atta boy, Fiver!" as Brody pitched for the second win.
High fives mean happiness!
Blinking back tears with a lump in my throat...
