Sometimes there are games that are just hard to watch. Tonight was one of those games. The opposition was just clearly better than us - in batting, in fielding (they actually stood up when they fielded the ball), in just about everything. Even when we did make a positive play, it just went bad right after - for example, fielding a ground ball and attempting to throw the runner out, but nobody bothering to cover the base... Playing like this resulted in another loss, this time a 17-11 score that actually seemed like it should have been much worse.

    On a personal note, Samantha had a pretty decent night. She struck out in her first at-bat, but had two solid hits in her next attempts. She struck out once more in her last at-bat, but I cannot totally fault her for that. At this level the kids either get a hit or if after 7 pitches without a hit they are out. Sam fouled off a couple of pitches and watched a couple go by, so she had to swing at pitch #7. Unfortunately for her it was high and she missed. She also made a couple of nice plays in the field, but as previously mentioned there was either nobody to throw the ball to or she was just a tad late with her throw.
