Ugh. We totally outplayed the #17 team in the state today, but ended up with a 7-6 loss. Another 1 run loss. 4 out of our 6 losses are by 1 run and another is by 2. 3 unearned runs after a bad error by our LF. 2 outs, kid hits a pop up between short and left field. Our SS is under it, but yields to the LF calling him off. The kid didn't know our SS was camped under the ball and tried to make a running catch and missed it. 2 runs score and another scores a batter later. There's your ball game.
Went 3 for 4 with an RBI. First at bat: ground ball off the end of the bat or the handle to the right of the 1B who made the flip to the pitcher. Second at bat I just threw the bat out there on an outside pitch and managed to hit it a bomb that got a nice ride from the wind. RBI double. 3rd at bat: another double, this time to left center. 4th at bat, single to left. I was the tying run on 3rd with 2 outs when our 6 hitter flied out to right field. Really, really tough loss, but we're finally showing some character and spirit and other kids are finally starting to get hot. We'll have to bounce back against another good team on Wednesday.
