It was also a play-off game, and they played the one team they weren't able to beat this season (they lost to them twice, both in extra innings, by one point). In the last inning, Adam's team was behind 1-3 with one out and Bubba took the plate ready to sah-wing. You should have seen the way he was standing there staring down that pitcher--it was awesome! First pitch was a ball. Second pitch was a strike. Third, he hit a foul ball. Fourth, he hit another foul ball that was almost fair and HARD. Fifth pitch came in really low--looked below the knees to me--but the ump called it a strike, so Adam was out.
The next guy struck out, too, so the game was over. Tigers' season was over. But, we were so proud of Adam and his team and how they handled themselves. It was an intense game--two of their players got beaned good by the pitcher--and it was blistering hot, but they all played hard and acted like gentlemen. They should be proud of their season.
One thing was weird, though. I kept expecting a major rock star to appear at one of his games, and it never happened. . .
