This game epitomized the importance of playing good defense. Simple solution to this one....they made the routine defensive play and we did not. I counted 8 plays that for our elite group should have made outs on. When we give 4 and 5 outs an inning it is tough to hold your opponent to less than 5 runs an inning.
That's ok. They are 5, 6 and 7. We will get better. Practice will fix all of it. We will be so good next spring it isn't even going to be funny. Let's take care of business next weekend, win our 2nd league title, finish the season 8-1-1(with very little practice by the way) and take some time off.
We will start our hitting program in January, start practicing outdoors in March and be ready for our first game in April. We will play a tournament or 2 next year as well if the parents/kids are interested in the commitment and the competition.
I am so excited for next year!!!!
