Docs Pushing Klamath to Three
The Doc Stewarts showed everyone something win their 19-9 win over Klamath Falls Tuesday night: Every day is different in baseball.
One night after being embarrassed right out of Kiger Stadium, those Doctors got a big lift from Brandon Jackson and AJ Royal in a lopsided win of their own.
It was a great performance for the Docs, who have played better baseball at home all season and struggled mightily on the road. But now, the home games are over. If they win Wednesday, the Docs will make the state tournament in Corvallis starting on the 29th.
Personally, I hope the Docs go all the way now, because their Tuesday night win means I am going to Klamath Falls and possibly Corvallis instead of Lynden, Washington.
My wife and 10 year old daughter Abby, left this morning for the Cal Ripken Regional Softball Tournament in Lynden.
I was going to go if the Docs lost Tuesday night.
Instead, it'll be a kind of 'girls road trip' for them, but I am truly heartbroken not to be with them.
I told Abby last night that this tournament is really just the icing on the cake, that making the All-Star team was the big accomplishment and the rest is just a bonus.
My mother-in-law will also be going to support her and Abby will have a ton of fun and maybe even be able to say she's part of the best team in the Northwest if they win.
Its pretty cool to think that sports have already given two of my daughters something I never experienced: being an All-Star.
I honestly pray that the confidence the experience of sports gives my girls provide them with the confidence to accomplish anything they attempt in life.
Lessons of hard work and sacrifice learned in sports are extremely valuable. I wish more kids could understand the value of that lesson.
I am so proud of Abby for working hard to make the team after missing it the year before. She even had to learn a new position. But along the way, she earned a starting spot and actually has become one of the teams' best players.
I'll be in Klamath tonight, giving it all I've got, but part of my heart will be at a little softball field a few miles from Canada.
