here’s the pitch from Chad. Randy hits it, AND IT’S CAUGHT!!!! IT’S CAUGHT!!! OH MY GOD! CHAD APPLEWHITE WINS THE GAME FOR THE CREAM PUFFS!!!! THEY ARE CHAMPIONS. PUT THAT PLAY ON SPORTSCENTER!!!
CREAMPUFFS HAVE CREAMED THE OPPONENT THANKS TO THE TEAM’S HERO, CHAD APPLEWHITE!REPORTER: CHAD, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW!?CHAD: EAT PIES, CAKES AND ICECREAM FOR OUR VICTORY!EVERYONE: YAYYYY!lol!they did it! i knew our small soldier chad would!
Having coached and umpired LL and softball over a stretch of 12+ years, I’ve seen a lot of these types of catches.It’s always a joy when it’s one of the less talented players and their team mates rally around them, big game or not.
Love the play-by-play calls! I’d just like to add this:-“THE CREAM PUFFS WIN THE PENNANT!! THE CREAM PUFFS WIN THE PENNANT! THE CREAM PUFFS WIN THE PENNANT! THE CREAM PUFFS WIN THE PENNANT! Randy hits right into Chad’s glove! The Cream Puffs win the pennant and they’re going crazy, they’re going crazy! HEY-OHHH!!!”-And this:-“Do you believe in MIRACLES? … YES!”
WAIT!!! THERE IS STILL SATURDAY’S STRIP!!! WILL THEY GET AN ICE CREAM CELEBRATION? WILL NATE GET THE GIRL? STAY TUNED READERS! SAME NATE-TIME, SAME NATE-CHANNEL.
Nice ending, I thought Nate would snag it just before it went over the fence. Chad will remember this for the rest of his life and not the accident he just had in his uniform. Cupcakes for everyone !
I caught a hit like that one time. Pitching softball with office team. A line drive came right at me, & mostly I just put my glove up to keep it from hitting me in the face. Closed my eyes and ducked a little, too. Lucky me, the ball went right in, smack! Doubled a runner off of first, too! Totally awesome feeling! I still remember it, some 30 years later.
(Me commentary) And here come the Cream Puffs. One out to go and they’re Lauge champions. Applewhite, the first pitch..STRIKE! Applewhite wait he was eating a sets. The 0-1.. BETANCOURT, SWING AND A MISS! Strike 2! This could be it! Applewhite sets, and the 0-2… SWUNG ON AND CRUSHED UP THE MIDDLE! AND IT IS.. CAUGHT! CAUGHT! CAUGHT! GAME OVER! CHAMPIONSHIP OVER, SERIES OVER! THE ‘PUFFS ARE CHAMPS ON THE SPECTACLE OF A CATCH BY CHAD APPLEWHITE ON THE LAST PLAY! THEY ARE GOING CRAZY! IT’S MADNESS! THEY ARE GOING NUTTY AT THE BALLPARK!
