One loss.....

and man - it hurt.

The girls should NOT have lost that game. The only reason the other team scored so many is because our team put in a pitcher who was not in her groove inthe first inning. She loaded the bases, and then started walking them around. By the time they brought in a new pitcher, it was too late. Moral was down, and momentum had shifted.
The final score was 6-2. They scored ONE run off the new pitcher. They couldn't hit off her! Unfortunatly, our team couldn't seem to score any runs to back up the new pitcher.

LegoQueen was MAD, and we had to have a little talk about sportsmanship and the idea of "what goes around comes around" She only got one at bat because the coach screwed up (there was quite a bit of coach screwing up going on yesterday!) and it was a pop fly. If she had just come up a little bit, it would have easily made it to the outfield. At least she swung - she was one of the few that actually did.
Anyway....
The coach on the other side was an ass. He was screaming at his players and was just so abusive that I could not believe it. LQ could not understand why they let him talk to them like that, or why the parents didnt' say anything.

*sigh* sometimes in sports, people get carried away and some people figure its okay because that is what playing on a team is like.

But its not, and I don't want my daughter to ever think it is.

So now they fall into the consolation bracket. If they win on Thursday,they will still go to the championship on Friday. If they win Friday, they come back and play on Saturday. They would have to face this team twice.

Its so hard to come from behind - but I think they can swing it. They just need some good decisions from the coaching staff.
