Charlotte Knights Baseball July 25th

This past Saturday, a whole lot of Trinity Church was seen at the Charlotte Knights stadium! In support of the Montana Mission Team, a large group rode the bus and several families drove separately to enjoy a Saturday night baseball game in Fort Mill, SC. The Knights hosted the Rochester Red Wings! Although the game started out a little slow, things picked up in the last few innings! We went into the top of the 9th with the Knights up 6 to 4... thinking the game was over we were preparing to watch fireworks as soon as we got three outs! The Red Wings had something else in mind... as we went into the bottom of the 9th the game was now tied at 6. The Knights managed to get the bases loaded and the Red Wing Pitcher WALKED in the WINNING RUN! Not the most exciting and glorious victory... but we'll take it! The Knights won the game 7 to 6 in the bottom of the 9th! A whole lot of fun was had by all that were able to make it!

Baseball and Hot Dogs! A great Saturday Night!

Cynthia and her family had a great time!

The first couple innings were pretty slow.

Carolyn had some ice cream... and gave Lawrie the bowl.
It became the perfect hat for Mr. Walrus!

We had a pretty big crowd! Marion Elliot caught a foul ball!

At this point... the game was getting exciting!

But the kids weren't as interested...

Enjoying the game...

There were lots of our youth there!


Most of them didn't know much about baseball.

Cynthia was explaining the game a little to Beau and Blake.

The bottom of the 9th inning... game tied 6-6... two men on base!

WE WON!

Fireworks were great!

A little loud for the little ones... but enjoyed by all!

Just watching the fireworks.

It was pretty long too!

The grand finale! The perfect end to a great day at the ball park!
