Some wins are more satisfying than others. We're finally on the other side of first year 10U (whoo hoo!). When we go up against a little 07 team playing their hearts out and still getting killed, it's not very satisfying. I know how all the 05 teams felt about us last year now. Sometimes I just want to go out and hug the pitchers, especially.
But some wins feel really great. Let's share some satisfying win stories
This weekend we played a local tourney in an organization we hadn't played yet this fall. We had a pool game against a team we decided was probably our main competition. Just before the game this team was beating another team something like 15 to 3. The score keeping dad was telling me how they'd been going around just killing everybody and good luck to us. Coaches decided to have my DD pitch that game (she's our #1). She pitched a great game and we beat them 10 to 0. During the game DH (first base coach) heard the coaches talking about my DD, that their #1 pitcher was faster (she wasn't there until the later games that day). Basically trash talking (to themselves though, DH was just right there so he overheard).
So we faced them again in the championship. This time they had their #1 pitcher there. We were visitor, and in the first inning we went around our whole lineup and started back up at the top before they finally pulled her. The girls were crushing it (which was nice since in our BIG tournament the weekend before, they didn't hit at all and we got sent home after one bracket game). In the end we won 11-2. Beating a team that's used to mostly winning and has an attitude about it is a good feeling.
What were some of your DDs' most satisfying wins? Or even most satisfying hits or plays?
