Go Diamondbacks!

Sept 12th - Friday night- We scored 2 free tickets to the Diamondbacks baseball game (Thanks Alex!!) We decided that Blake and me would go. We were told that the tickets were behind home plate about 20 rows up off the field, alright! Those are good seats! We got to the game right as the first pitch was being thrown out. Brandon Webb was pitching. This was mine and Blake's 4th game this season. We sat in our seats, we were behind home plate, looking straight down the 3rd base line. We were just out of the net that blocks foul balls. Blake was so excited. We have had some good seats before, but none were THIS good! We were so close that you can hear the guys talking, you can hear the umpire, and every crack of the bat had me ducking for cover thinking a ball was heading our direction. Me and Blake have a deal at all games... if a ball comes our direction, I hit the deck and he saves me! (He's such a good boy, saving his mom)

In the 3rd inning, Blake's all-time favorite Diamondback player, Chris Young #24, came up to bat. Chris Young hits alot of homeruns. We hear the crack of the bat, and the ball heads straight for us! Blake stood up right away, the ball was flying right toward him. Im thinking to myself "He's going to catch it and break his hand".. He wouldn't care, he'd have a ball from his favorite player, and get on ESPN. He's such a BOY! The ball ended up hitting 1 row behind us, bounced into our row, and the guy in the seat next to us caught it, handed it to Blake and said "Here ya go buddy"! That made Blake's night!! He thanked the guy probably 10 times, the guy was very nice!

The Diamondbacks ended up winning 3-2 against the Cincinnati Reds. It was a fun night!

*We had left the house so fast to get to the game, I left without my camera*
