Wish we were there...

This one's too good not to start at the beginning. So I hope I do it justice.

Yesterday NMSU played NMU in Albuquerque. This is their big rivalry and NMU beat them the first time they met this season and was coming off a huge win where they took 2 out of 3 against Arizona this past weekend.

First, Brett spoke with the MLB Scout on the phone yesterday that had been at the game when we were in Las Cruces and he informed him that he would be at the game watching BL and a couple other players on his team. Brett called BL to tell him and he was on the bus headed to the game. He was throwing up and said he thought he had the flu. Brett called me at the office and said it's a good thing you didn't talk to him because I'm afraid the way he sounded, you would have gotten in your car and driven out to take care of him. What a horrible feeling to know your child is sick, hundreds of miles away and there's nothing you can do about it.

Next thing we know, we look on the computer to watch the live stats of the game and not only is BL playing, he hit his second homerun of the season and had his best college game ever! He went 3-4, with a homerun and 3 RBI's. And the scout got it on video again!

BL called after the game and said he went to Rocky and told him he wanted to play. So the trainer hooked him up to an IV and pumped some fluid back in him. He still wasn't feeling very well "physically" after the game, but mentally he was 10' tall and bullet proof. Maybe they should give him extra fluids before every game!

If you get a chance, go to their website at nmstatesports.com and read about the game.

Man, it's hard being so far away. Wish we were there.
