Loyola again started out in the lead in game two and for a while kept the Trotters from putting more than a single point on the board. But when the loca...

We would sit for hours and watch him take down the bad guys and cheer him on when he won and laugh when he failed. After seeing how much we enjoyed watching him play, h...
