Crazy Day on June 23, 2018 — 2 Championships, A Hawk and a Pigeon

On June 23, 2018, Nicholas had a crazy sports day.  In the morning, he played an L2 14 and under tournament at Fordham University.  It was very windy but he won both matches 6-1, 6-0 and won the tournament.  Then in the afternoon, his Junior League baseball team was in the playoffs.  In the semi-finals game, the game was delayed as a hawk landed on the cage with his lunch, a pigeon.  He ate it over the home plate and the feathers from the pigeon cascaded down on the umpire, hitter and catcher.  The game was delayed for almost 1/2 hour until the hawk fished his lunch. Nicholas’ team won the first game, and Nicholas hit a double with 2 RBIs and then he scored after stealing 3rd.  It broke the game open. In the championship game, the pitching was too strong and his team lost 7-6.  Here is a video of the highlights from that crazy day.
