We have all been there! It sounds like it took it like a "man". You owned it. Took responsibility for it. What a great lesson that you taught your girls!!! Congratulations on that.
Just because you lost doesn't mean you made the wrong call. Number 2 would have had to win a game at some point. We go through it every
tournament as we have a number 1 pitcher and a 3 and 4 with no real 2.
We are fortunate to have two #1 pitchers, but can get into difficulty since our back up C is one of our top pitchers. However, there is quite a gap between the #1 C and back up C. I don't see the back up C working on catching when she could work on pitching though. Need to develope a 2nd C that is not a P.
