Champions

Last night we had our playoffs for the summer season.  We played a double header and WON!!!

We are the champions for the summer season. YAY!!!

It was definitely stressful.  The first game started and we were doing good, had 3 run lead for the first three innings.  Unfortnately for us when the other team has poor sportsmen ship we tend to lose our focus.  My team was on the field, our shortstop Joe went to make a play second base, he had the ball and was ready to get the runner out.  Instead of sliding, the runner bulldozed Joe, causing Joe to roll over the runners back.  The runner then push his shoulder up causing Joe to do complete 360 in the air falling to the ground, not moving.  No problem things happen, what upset all of us was that the runner kept running, and never said sorry, or check to see if Joe was okay.  After a few seconds Joe sat up and was carried off the field.  He hurt his knees really bad.  He is okay now, just really sore.  It just really upset all of us that the other team seemed unphased by the fact that one of our players got hurt.  It was really tight at the end, we were up to bat and the time was out.  So this was hit, however this inning ended meant the end of the game.  We were down by two runs, everyone standing up, we had two outs, you could feel the tension.  We ended up getting 2 more runs.  Now it was there turn at bat, we had to hold them there. It seemed like a long inning, but we did it!

The next game wasn't as stressful, but it wasn't easy either. But we won. It was really exhuasting, but we were all super excited at the end of the night. we get one week off, then we start again.  I'm going to learn pitching,  Cory our coach really wants a girl pitcher because we can utilize the the field more, and I'm one of the only girls that really isn't afraid of the ball, with quick reflexes.  So I'm going to start practicing this week, if I get the hang of it then I will be the pitcher for our games.  I'm excited.
