Well, that's it. Ben's team lost 4-3 last night in their final game of the All-Stars. They played well, but none of our "big hitters" did anything at the plate. Ben got a single his first time at bat. His second time he was patient and walked. Then he got up to bat again at the top of the 6th with a guy on 1st and 3rd and 1 out. A single would have tied the game anything better we would have won. You could see the excitement in Ben's eyes. He lives for moments like that. He got to the plate and they called for an intentional walk, he never even got to swing the bat. The next guy up hit the ball to the 2nd baseman who stepped on 2nd and threw to 1st for the double play. Game over.

I took this photo of Ben's single.

Well, Ben had a fun time and so did we.
