Simply amazing.  After being one of the home run team leaders all season, Jasper goes to state without a single playoff home run.  But the game is about winning, not about home runs.  Home runs are nice, but at the same time they empty the bases and take the base runner pressure off the pitcher and the defense.  I would take a dozen singles and speedy runners over a home run any day!  ;)
