The Last Hurrah!

Playoffs. For the first time. It's win or go home. It's no longer all about the learning. This should be interesting. I will equate it to Caz's first time trying out. He's nowhere near as nervous as that though. I take that as a positive. Even though the focus on winning has shifted a bit, the kids are still having fun. So the main goal (the kids having fun) is still in tact and within reach. If it wasn't, I would worry. I would like to win at least one round. But I am also a bit anxious, ready for the end of a long season. We are seeded towards the bottom of the barrel, so we face a pretty big challenge right off the bat. No pun intended. But never the less appropriate. We get tagged for a maximum 5 run inning pretty early on. And then another max out a few innings later. The AAA Bees would not recover. But we finish strong. Rather than giving up and going home quietly, the boys mount a 6 run, 6th inning. Caz had a tough pitching inning just prior to our at bat. But he finished with a bases clearing triple. So while the boys lost, they put up a good fight and went home happy. Another successful season in the books.
