Props for my nephew
Posted in:
The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram just did a big spread on my nephew Nicholas. The kid is a star on the field and off (the last time I checked he had a perfect grade average).
Until the bottom of the seventh inning, Nick Miller and the Keller Indians were finished.
Keller trailed Colleyville Heritage 7-0 through 4 1/2 innings Wednesday, but scored twice in the bottom of the fifth. By the bottom of the seventh, the Indians trailed 9-2.
“We hadn’t been doing anything all night, but once we got in that inning, we started clicking,” Miller said. What followed: The Indians sent 12 batters to the plate, and scored eight runs for a 10-9 victory. The rally was capped by Miller’s two-out single up the middle on a 1-2 fastball. Keller (23-7) clinched a playoff spot with the victory, and opens against Coppell (24-7) in the Class 5A Region I bi-district round Thursday.
There’s even a Q&A.
Are you breaking out any new, crazy traditions for the playoffs?
Right now, we have this new tradition where we wear camouflage to every game. Coach wanted us to take that hunting mentality. At the first of the season, we felt like we were the hunted; now we want to be the hunters. Now we’ve been wearing camo every day. I’ve got a camo hat that says “Born to Hunt” that I’ve worn to the games…. And I’ve actually worn it under my helmet when I got the game-winning hit. Some of the guys will wear it under their jerseys. It’s fun, it’s all good fun.
Very cool.
