I certainly do not mind loosing a game when the other team outplays us. If their bats were swinging to the fence, If their pitcher was sitting us down.....BUT to loose a game that involved close, questionable calls is extremely upsetting.
Five calls, two at home, two at first and one at second, all were close, ......NOT ONE CALL IN OUR FAVOR!!!!!
the two plays at home were of course most crucial and the most upsetting....the score was 3 to 3 at the bottom of the 6th.... Our runner at third slides into home and gets tagged on the shoulder and they call him out......( the kids six feet tall, his feet were their long before his shoulders)
So we head into the 7th inning.....( we only play 7)
Our pitcher throws a passsed ball, he runs to cover home, he is all over it, the catcher tosses him the ball as the runner slides in.....SAFE!!! It was a mirror image of the previous slide into home and this one goes against us again....
At our last at bat, we had a runner called out at second....causing the second out, I vocalized how it be nice if just one close call was in our favor and then I walked away because I could not watch the rest. I listened from behind the back stop as the game came to an end.
Aside from the passed ball by the pitcher, the kids were flawless.
They need to win three in a row to go to states, they play Lewiston today at 1:00.
****a Pop's update****
He is resting like Rip Van Wynkle, he has been on the respirator and on major drugs since his operation last Tuesday.....I think on Monday or Tuesday they will try to get him off the respirator and wake him up.
