Remember a couple of weeks ago when our baseball tournament in St. George was rained out? Well, when all of the teams got back to the Wasatch Front, the coaches got together and decided our boys still needed to play. So the following weekend, they set up some games.
Curly played well! He hit a nice double with an RBI. He did great at 1st, but the 3rd time he came up to bat, the pitcher threw one a little off center and it hit Curly's left hand as it gripped the bat. We worried about him, but he assured us he was fine and he finished the game.
On Saturday morning, the teams showed up early; trying to beat the rain. Curly acted mostly normal and with his first at-bat, he smacked one nearly to the left field wall that bounced once before making its way over. He caught 3 pop flies and only bobbled one ball at first. It was a great couple of games for him before the 3rd one was rained out.
Sunday morning during church, he complained to his dad that his hand was still hurting, so right after church was over, I ran him across town to an urgent care and they confirmed that the bone below his pinkie finger was broken. He was devastated!
"I wish we had never come!" he mumbled. More that anything, all my boy wants to do is play baseball.
Oh, now I find out how he actually broke it. The fact he still played is amazing. He must have a good pain tolerance.
