VICTORY!!!

A couple weeks back, we had a little family ball game in our backyard. The challenge was between our family (Mork) and my brother's family (Robertson). We played regular softball last year and unfortunately for us...the Robertson family came up on top. This year, we decided to play whiffle ball instead. The game was fun, and quite competitive. We (the Mork family) were geared up to make a better showing than we did last year. The stakes were high. The dignity of our family was hanging in the balance.

We were down by three runs as we entered the bottom of the last inning. We were beginning to lose hope when Rigo hit a single home run. We managed to get two runners on base when I stepped up to the base. I really, really wanted to hit a home run. I really, really tried. I swung with all my might and hit the ball... right to the pitcher. Not too impressive. One out. Bjork stepped up to the plate. He positioned himself behind the plate. I have always liked this young man, but never really knew what a powerhouse hitter he was until he CRUSHED the ball out of the yard! It was a three-run walk-off home run!!! Our team went wild with excitement and the game was over! It was a proud day for the Mork family and Bjork was indeed the hero. Boy, am I glad he is on our team!! I am already looking forward to our annual ball game next year. It'll be sweet!
