First Tournament Championship
The Story
It came down to the last inning. Noah stood on the mound with the tying run on second and threw the same pitch he had practiced in the driveway a thousand times. When the last out landed in the glove, he did not celebrate right away. He looked into the stands, found his family, and then ran.
