Last friday night the boys had their first playoff game. The game was going great, the boys were playing awesome and it was so much fun until....Max got hit in the head with a foul ball! It was the scariest moment not knowing where he was hit and how bad because I was not in the same place as him. He was playing with a couple of other kids and stood up at the exact moment that the ball came down and it hit him square in the top side of his head. He immediately fell to the ground and cried (thank god for that because we know that it never knocked him out) We called an ambulance right away because you just don't know with head injuries. He was such a trooper and he let the emt's work on him and after being checked out from head to toe they thought that he would be just fine. We did have to watch him through the night and wake him often in case there might have been signs of a concussion or worse. He didn't like being woken up but he like I said he was a trooper. He was even given the ball that hit him. This picture was taken after all of the excitement was over by Lisa....our team "photographer" Yes...It will become a scrapbook page...just have to wait to do it when my nerves settle down. But I just want to say thank you to all of the people that helped during this, the Emt's that were watching the game and came right away and of course the Sinclairville fire dept for getting there pretty darn quick. The poor fire chief got into a little accident on his way to the scene....get this....a deer jumped in his truck window!! He was fine but scared the jeepers out of him!!

On a brighter note...the boys won their game 19-1 and they play again tonight. Keep y our fingers crossed that they continue to do well and of course that Max makes it through without getting hit by any wayward balls. He isn't even scared about going. He still likes baseball is what he said!!
