Hope vs. Heritage Softball Tournament

Last Saturday Hope Baptist Church of Wake Forest and Heritage Bible Fellowship of Fayeteville met for a softball game and picnic. First there was a game for anyone who wanted to play. After lunch two teams of the men played - Hope Baptist Reformers and Heritage Churchmen. Both teams had hats and shirts made. Stephen Sides, a former NCFIC intern and younger brother of a Hope Baptist Reformer, did a good job as the announcer. The game was very good, at least for the Reformers. At around the 3rd or 4th inning the game was tied at around 4 to 4, but then in one inning Hope made about 10 runs. Heritage was not able to make a comeback, but they did make a few more runs in the last inning. It was also a good time of fellowship. Here are some pictures:

Baseball Game

On Tuesday August 25 we went to a baseball game with Shea, Stephen, and Mr. Breagy. The game was at the Durham Bull's stadium, and they were playing against the Indianapolis Indians.

We ate dinner at the baseball game, and we got cotton candy too. The Durham Bulls beat the Indians at the bottom of the 10th inning. It was a really close game! We had a lot of fun since it was the Breagys first time going to the Durham Ball Park. They really liked the bull snorting when the Bulls hit a home run!

This is the player who hit the home run.

We did not stay for the whole game because it was going so long, but the Breagys didn't leave right when we did, so they heard when the Bulls won. We tried to find the radio station to listen to on the way home, but we couldn't.
