Another Great Baseball Story

I know I have been doing a ton of bragging on here lately about Tanner and his baseball, but he is just doing so good that it's hard not to. SO here is another great story for you.

On Monday Tanner's team was playing the top team in the league. A team that is undefeated and used to just slaughtering anyone they play. So the coach decided to pull out all the stops-which meant have Tanner pitch every pitch he could legally throw in one week and not save any for Wednesday night. Well here is the amazing part Tanner pitched for 4 innings straight and with a little bit of backing up from the outfield held this team at 6 points. That is amazing. He also got a triple in the first inning. The fifth inning started and Tanner only threw a couple pitches and they had to pull him out. When he left the game the score was 3-6 and the other team was not happy. Now here is the sad part after the other pitcher came in the score changed from 3-6 to 3-14. Tanner's team did have last bats so they got a few more runs but they ended up losing 5-14. However... the other coach came up to Tanner and said buddy that is the best anyone has pitched to us all year-and he really meant it. Also the umpire came over to Tanner and said that is the best team in the league and you held them to six runs for 4 innings-wow that's pretty impressive. So although his team lost-Tanner impressed some people.

In fact the next day Landon got a phone call. He called me and said jokingly I just got the first scout offer for Tanner-me not being a huge baseball buff was like "oh for what" thinking to myself a call for a boy scout project. LOL. Anyways he's like a baseball scout silly. Apparently the league commissioner who was also the coach of the other team was impressed enough with Tanner that he wanted to recruit him to pitch for the traveling team he was putting together. We told him Tanner was already on a traveling theam but we'd have to think about it. I still don't think Landon has come down off the clouds. :)
