Going to throw this in because there isn’t a softball thread (or I missed it). Girls wrapped up the fall last night. We placed 3rd. Had some chances to take first but we have too many slow girls (it’s amazing how slow). I’m not the coach, but I pitch during games. This was my daughter’s 2nd season of playing and her development has been awesome. She’s tiny, but has a great swing and hits some bombs. Hate to say it this way, but throws like a boy (better than just about all of my 8u boys team). She has really taken to the game (to my wife’s dismay). Walking off the field she looked pissed, so I told her she played great. She bust out crying and says they lost because she didn’t make a play. Broke my heart. She was playing 1st and two throws got by her. When she was pitcher she didn’t have any opportunities to make plays (maybe 1). I told her she did everything she could and she left it all on the field, and that there was nothing she could have done differently that would have changed the game. Then she said “but it’s our last game.” She didn’t want it to be over. Again, broke my heart but made me feel so proud that she was so bought in. She’s 8u another year and wants to start practicing pitching so she can be successful in 10u.
