Have you ever noticed that controversy just seems to
follow some people around? Tonight that controversy surrounded the opposing
coach (who we have had issues with for a couple of years now). A close play at
second base involving one of their runners being called out resulted in an
argument with our coach, a call to the league commissioner (for a coach-pitch
baseball league with no umpires, for cripes sake!), and later blaming the
argument on another parent. To top it all off, one of the parents of a child on
her team was arguing with her during the game. Fun, fun, fun.
Sam had a fairly decent night tonight. She had a couple of
singles to start with, but struck out in her last at-bat. She didn't really see
much action in the way of fielding tonight - she had to back up first base and
stopped a couple of balls that got by there, but that was pretty much it.
Despite the score not showing it, the whole team actually seemed like they
played better today. We gave up some big hits (the other team had 3 or 4 doubles
today, we have a total of 2 - for the entire season), which didn't help our
cause, but the rest of the game was well played. Unfortunately, it didn't result
in a "W", as the final score showed a 13-10 loss for us.

up this year.

Sam didn't see much action in the field today, which is obvious
by the excitement in her face.
