NDN84

Pitch Count hit the nail on the head!!  No matter what others around us are doing or saying, we as parents should take those opportunities to teach about right and wrong.  We all fall short, but quitting should not be an option!  When you allow them to quit, you have taught them just that...to quit, nothing else.  When you use the situation and talk to your kids, you produce character.  But again, we all fall short, for sure....myself included.  When you can't change a situation, you change the way you react to the situation and you will always be a Winner!

I had Provost 2 for 3.  E-5 in the first was obvious.  In the 3rd Maxwell was teasing the runner at 2nd and was out of position when the ball was hit and it was a well hit ball.  He just couldn't get there. Had he been in his normal playing position Provost would have been out because Maxwell doesn't make many errors.  In the 6th, well, obviously that was a hit and an RBI.  The ball hit the ground in front of the left fielder.

I'm here to tell you last night game was a pitcher's dual from the get go.  So very proud of Anderson and Hagler as I know them both very well.  It's almost unfair to pitch as well as Hagler did and lose a ball game. That boy maintained his composure throughout the game and was a professional through and through.  I was proud and humbled in the top of the 7th when he knelt on the mound and prayed before beginning the inning  True character and true grit.  Anderson as well.  Maintained composure and professionalism through a few sticky situations against a very well coached, potentially dangerous lineup.  Hat's off  to both young men.  Great ball game.  Anyone who loves this game would have enjoyed watching last night's game.
