Davey's Big Day

The Whitestown 'A' Little League All-Stars played their first game in the District 10 tournament against cross-town, New Hartford. After a few errors in the top of the 2nd, Whitestown was down 3-0. David batting in the six spot led up the bottom of the 2nd with a shot over the left-center fence. His first homer ever! It was just the spark the team needed. The photo is David being mobbed at home.
In the 4th inning Whitestown was still behind 3-2. David came up to bat with the bases loaded and hit a gapper into right-center field for a double and 2 rbi's. New Hartford tied it in the top of the sixth 4-4. In extra innings, David came up with one out and no one on base. He hit a single to left. After two walks, David came home on a ground ball to shortstop and beat the throw to the plate to win the game, 5-4. Davey went 3 for3 plus a walk, 3 rbi's and two runs scored.

It was Davey's big day. Tonight before bed, I was talking to him in his bedroom when he commented,"I got mobbed at the plate twice today!" This day will live long in a little boy's dreams.
