At 12:30 p.m., Our lebanon 8th grade team left to go to Lee,VA to play a double header versus their JV team. We got there around 2:30 and played our first game at 3. We had a lead of 4 to nothing going into the 3rd inning in the freezing cold and snowy weather. At one point during this inning I literally could not see becuase of the snow in Left field. They rallied to score 10 points in this inning and ended up winning this first game 10-7. I batted 3rd and and had 2 for 4 night with a single and a double and stealing 3 bases. A good game for most people. Next game started as soon as the other ended. This game I also batted 3rd and we also lost, 9-10. I went 0 for 1, with 3 walks and one strike out. The strike out, unfortunately, came at the worse point in the game. We rallied in the last inning and closed the game to one point. 2 outs, runner on third. I'm up to bat. Strike out ending the game 9-10 Lee. In the 10 years I have played any sport, this is the first time I have EVER gotten emotional after a game. It really hurt me and made me feel like I let the team down. Everyone on the team was behind me all the way. I just really wish it could've ended differently.
P.S. I played all of both games, first time I have ever done that in HS ball.
