It's hard to get in a grove when there's no concisely in when we play because of all the rain-outs. We started out the game slow, got caught sleeping in the field a couple times & found ourselves fighting from behind. After we crawled through the first inning we
started waking up. I got real aggressive on the base path trying to make something happen. The team was stealing base after base. Ben worked the fake steal perfect causing the over through. Aaron Baldwin & Mathew Pena received game balls for great play. Aaron got his first hit & Mathew has been great at the plate 2 games in a row. All the aggressiveness helped get us back into it but it also caused us to come up 1 run short. I took a coach's gamble on one of my best players & made the wrong call. It happens some times. I believe in my heart if I took the same gamble again I would still have faith the player would pull through. I'm proud of him of trying what he was asked to do by me because I've always told the boys, let it be my fault making the coaches decision not yours. If we can string a few game together I believe we'll find our grove.
