Derek's Walk Off

It was 12-4 and we were getting cruuuuushed. There were more moans from our parents then "way to go’s." this went on for 4 innings. It was painful. Derek was pitching and doing great but the defense was not so good. Fifth inning and the mojo kicks in. The boys were knockin' in run after run. At this time it was 12-12. Derek comes up to bat. First pitch, ball. Second pitch, ball. I yelled “make this your fourth (homerun), baby!!!" third pitch came up and holy *%#$!!! It started low and just kept sailin'!!! Ladies and gentleman, it was still going up when it cleared the center field fence. Everybody went nuts!!! We won 14-12 and Wes got it on tape!!! Wes managed to get Derek’s homerun ball and all the boys signed it. They were calling Derek mini bonds and the parents were asking if he was on steroids. It was a really cool moment for him. I'm still smilin' and Derek says he's never taking his uniform off. He also says that he's not washing anything......not even his underwear. Uh.....................i don't think so.
