I love winning! I even like losing if I know I did my best. Well, let me modify that a bit. I don't like losing, but I don't mind it so much when I know that I or my team did our best and it was even a close game.
The church softball team I coach won our final two regular season games on Thursday. We had tied after 7 innings in the first game, but I asked if we could play another inning to determine a winner. They agreed. We were the visiting team, which means we batted first. We scored a run and all we had to do was hold them, which we did to win 7-6. Good call! The second game we played against a team that had an average age about half of ours. Fortunately, we rattled the bats and won handily 19-7. They scored 5 in the last inning, but since we were the home team, we didn't have to bat. It was a great game and a great night.
We start the tournament on Monday night and it's double elimination. I think we can get a pretty decent run at this and win the first two on Monday. We will see, though, since the first team we play beat us 19-3 the first time and by two runs the second time. I'll be pitching so we will see how it goes since I pitched the close game.
That means we finish with a regular season of 7-13-1 and under my coaching job 7-10. Not bad considering they only won one game last year and it was by forfeit. We have a good team and I'm pretty proud of them!
