Osolo 14, Concord 3

Losing isn't nearly as fun as winning! Softball (baseball too) is certainly a game of calculated strategy... more so than some other sports. We went into this game 3-0 and knowing that we would play tomorrow at 2pm whether we won or lost. We were the only undefeated team in our pool so a loss wouldn't affect our playing schedule. The pitching is always an issue and making sure that your best pitchers stay eligible to pitch in expected tough games. They can only pitch so many innings without having to sit 1 or even 2 games out. Today our coaches pitched 5 different pitchers for us. I don't know... I know what their intent was but no one really had the time to get in the groove. We got hammered. We actually play Osolo again tomorrow. We'll see what they do with the pitchers. If we loose, we are done.

Madison played 4 out of the 6 innings and played well. She was only up to bat twice and singled and walked. They had a very good pitcher! Some of our regular hitters struck out each time they were up! She won't be able to pitch tomorrow now. (Thank goodness!)

Tonight Madison has a Flames soccer party at one of the coaches houses. Peyton is here for the afternoon. Madison is still pet sitting and our neighbor across the street told her she was welcome to come and "hang out and play Play Station... to get away" if she wanted to. Ha! Sooo, that's where Madison and Peyton have been this afternoon... at the neighbor's house. They are very responsible and respectful girls so I'm sure they are doing perfectly fine over there. I went and checked on them once. I think they feel so grown up.

Here's a picture of Quinn for ya... he's been dragged (drug?) around all week to games. He's more interested in his Game Boy during this game. This picture was actually taken earlier in the week. He spends a lot of time at the concession stand too! I told him today I better get a second job to keep up with his concession stand habit....
