DD's 2014 team played in the NSA World Series last year. We really wanted to win it. We thought we could. We took 10 players. Sitting our worst hitter would've helped. But I had no problem whatsoever with batting all 10, and neither did the players. She went about 1-for-12. So be it. Effort wasn't an issue. She just doesn't hit that well to that point in her life.
Don't sweat it. Your competition likely wanted to win also, and you helped.
The more rec the level of play that you are dealing with, the more acceptable that is.
The more competitive the level of play, the less acceptable that is. Parents shoveling out significant bucks for their kids to play against high level competition ... and pitchers that work their tail off year round ... and players that take the message to heart of developing their own skills ... aren't going to be overly happy seeing their efforts tossed to the wind.
