a couple of weeks ago austin's team played in a super NIT regional baseball tourney to qualify for the nationals in orlando. the tourney was held in allentown, pa. in the championship game, austin hit a home run that went out of the park and landed apparently in someone's yard on the street behind the park. if you can see it, the red X over the right field wall is where i last saw the ball go into the trees and it never came down! a parent went through the door in the outfield wall to find it, and it was beyond the fence. they are estimating the hit was 380-400 feet...pretty good for a 14-year old boy! :) it was a thing of beauty, and if he never hits another one, that would be ok. it was worth the money and the time to have gotten to see something like that for once in my life!his team won the champtionsip, beating teams from oklahoma city, the #1 seed from new jersey, and others to get to the finals. they beat the philadelphia senators 10-0. since his team had already qualifiedl for the nationals in charlotte, the bid went to the oklahoma team.
