For Austin Riley's parents, Atlanta Braves' World Series title capped wild month of precious moments

Mike and Elisa Riley returned to their Hernando, Mississippi, home Wednesday night.

After unpacking their bags, they fed their dogs and cats before collapsing on the couch.

“But it was one of those good collapses,” Mike told The Commercial Appeal on Thursday.

Who could blame them? The past four weeks were a whirlwind of proud life moments for the couple and their three children. The Rileys became first-time grandparents on Oct. 7, when their daughter, Emily Herrington, and son-in-law, Dex Herrington, welcomed a son. The next week, their youngest son, Zach, earned All-America honors at the United Small College Athletic Association golf championships.
