Play offs

WOW!!!!
We maid it to the PLAY OFFS!! I thought to myself. This was my first
year playing little league. Every one said the season went fast.
There were only three teams that made it to the play offs. Those 3
teams were Plymouth, Newport and Saint Albans. We where Plymouth. The
only way to make it to the play offs is to win nine of the twelve
games. We all played very good games. But that was not enough we knew
we had to work hard to win the play offs. When the play offs came
around we knew something would go wrong.

And
sure enough something did go wrong? Are best player Drew got hit in
the leg by a pitch and for that he got to take a base. The reason why
this was tragic was because Saint Albans pitches fast and very
accurately. So it was a surprise when he got hit we all had to take
a break so they could put ice on Drew's leg and in are little break
the pitcher and the catcher on the other team were in there dug out
laughing.

Everyone
on our team thinks that they hit him on purpose. But this did not
help them because when we got are 3^rd and final out drew
knew this was his last game he threw only strikes the last batter
would be the pitcher that hit him. Drew threw a curve that curved
write at the kids knees. That would be Drew's last pitch for little
league or he thought it really was his last catch because the kid hit
that exact pitch strait to drew. It was the last out! but this was
not good because we did not get a single point and they got 5 points.

If
only we would have one that game, but no, we had lost 5 to zip.
Fortunately newport beat them 4 to 1. This was are last game. The
one thing that we thought was a little funny the umpire called one of
our players out when he was safe and the coach came on to the field
and started yelling at the ump. This reminded me of the major league
baseball games hat I have seen on TV. It always happens the same way.
The umpire calls the wrong thing like an out when they are clearly
safe or a home run that he calls a foul ball. The most common is when
the pitch is a ball and they call it a strike. After the game our
coach told Saint Albans that he was sorry and that does not happen
unless someone does something that aggravates him.
