A bit of background, the coach is a mom and she has never coached before. Our children are all boys 7 years or younger. This year is coach pitch where one of the coach's pitch to the kids.
So bullet points here we come.....
- Out of 9 games we have only won 1.
- Tonight we lost.....13 - 0.
- Our pitcher tonight struck almost all of our kids out. The umpire even stopped and commented to him that he should quit striking the kids out.
- Tonight alone there were only 19 times at bat.
- Out of those 19 times at bat 13 kids were struck out.
- There were 4 hits! :)
- There were 2 outs on base.
- The other team each got to bat 3 times apiece.
- Our team only got to bat twice except for one kid and he only got to bat once.
Next year, if my son wants to play again, I won't score keep. It is too hard to watch game after game after game....
I am off to go have some chicken wings and maybe an electric lemonade to forget about it all.
The red-headed son went with the grandparents (my parents) after the game. I am gonna go on a date with my hubster and forget all about the game! :) Hopefully the boy is having to much of a blast to care that they lost 13 - 0.
Hopefully Monday's game won't be like this. This was the most brutal of them all.
