Today was one of the most demoralizing defeats I have suffered to date. Two weeks ago my travel team enter d a tournament with 16 teams in our 14u division, & did very well, in fact we did well enough that I really expected to win our local tournament this weekend against much weaker opponents. Today we were luck enough to draw the weakest team (my figuring) for our first game. My normally strong pitching staffsuffered a meltdown of proportions that I have not had to deal with in years. My starter hit the leadoff batter in the a** the first pitch of the game & then walked the next 3!! To make a long sad story short, we gave up 1 marginal hit on the day, & walked 15 in 5 innings (3 pitchers) to lose 4-3.
Thanks for letting me vent!! maybe tomorrow will be better- at least we still have a shot at the playoffs.
