long story short- kids played hard, were doing well but pitching imploded. allowing the other team to come back from a 6 run deficit. game was tied 10 - 10 when we had reached the time limit of when we could start a new inning.
I knew the (hitless) bottom of my order was coming up but for some reason I allowed the game to continue for one more inning. We went down without scoring another run and it didn't take long for the other team to get a runner on base and home, ending the game.
I could have taken the tie and our team would have walked away without having lost. they had played too well to lose that game- it was all coach error. I didn't realize my team was toast and should have said as much when asked if I was ready to call it at a tie.
they say a tie is like kissing your sister - well losing a game like this was like a sucker punch to the gut that doesn't go away. I couldn't sleep. I have no idea what i was thinking. also the people who say that are pot-bellied, seen-better-days adult males, not 12 y.o. girls.
just saying- don't lose touch with your team. perhaps if I had opened my eyes and listened a little better, 13 families would be feeling a lot better this morning.
