Heartbreakers

Over the past couple of games this team is competing very well. Just not good enough to win. We lost on Friday 1-0 on a superb pitching performance by our #1 starter. Chillicothe scored their only run on an error in the first inning and again, we couldn't muster any hits together to squeak one out. The bright spots were the pitching performances of the starter and the relief pitchers. We even lost our starting shortstop to a 1 inch gash in his arm by being spiked on a head-first slide into second. He had to leave the game and have 6 stitches; he'll be out a few days.

Yesterday, we finally broke through with the sticks and scored some runs, leading 4-3 in the eighth. The relief pitching wasn't as dominant and gave up a tying home run, with a throwing error and we lost 5-4. I feel really bad for the guys and they are trying their best and the effort is there. We need to win today to make us feel better about ourselves.

Will post tomorrow.
