April 30

Isaac played in a doubleheader with the NCS team (aka "the other Rays team") this evening and had an exceptional night at the plate.

Here he is just a split second before he launched the ball into left field during the first game. (If you zoom in, you can see the ball suspended in the air above his bat. Kinda cool.) That hit was a double. 

All in all, he went 6 for 8 with that double, a triple, and four singles. (It still boggles my mind that he was able to leg his way all the way to third.) He also reached on an error and crossed the plate to score five times. Although things got dicey at times, they won both games.

Although winning is most definitely not all that matters (and in fact, I think we probably learn more from NOT winning), it's awfully nice to have exceptional nights. So for my boy's exceptional night and for the memories of those moments that he'll probably carry with him, I am thankful.
