Midland Rock Hounds game

I went to the Rock Hounds website one day at work and ran across the "Team of the Night" section of the site. I thought that sounded really fun.  We had never heard of the Midland Rock Hounds until Luke's team became the Rock Hounds.  I LOVE how unique our team name was compared to the other teams.  Anyway, I mentioned to a couple of moms at baseball practice how fun I thought it would be to take our "little" rock hounds to a REAL rock hound game.  They were really excited and we made plans to go after our last game, which just happened to land on May 28th, Luke's birthday! 

What a fun day!  Here is a video of the kids introducing themselves on the field.  The man with camera was sitting on the field and popped up right in front of me when they starting announcing our kids.  I had to move around him to get a better shot. 

Our kids cheered and cheered for the Rock Hounds.

The Tuscola Rock Hounds sang happy birthday to Luke in the stands.  Our seats were on the third base line, directly behind 3rd base.  A member of the Midland Rock Hounds hit a triple, but the other team overthrew the ball to their 3rd baseman and it went into the dug out, automatically making the triple, a home run.  A player from the dugout threw the home run ball into the stands and Luke caught it!  He was pumped to get to bring home the home run ball.
