heartland showcase

the heartland showcase was the name of the tournament that i just played in this weekend. there were only 5 teams so the worst we could have gotten was 5th place, but we got better...... we got 2nd place. we lost by 1 run in the championship game. it was soooo close. we were down by 1 in the last inning and then we had a runner at 3rd and i was up to bat. the catcher had an over throw that went over the 3rd baseman's head and the girl at 3rd just stood on the base when our coach was telling her to go home. but then it was to late to go so she was stuck at third base. i was soooo pressured cuz i thought it was the last inning and i just hit a ground ball right to third base and she got me out at first. but the umpire said there was another inning we could play and then the other team got 2 more runs and we were now down by 3 runs. we were home team so we got to hit again...... and we actually got 2 more runs and we were only down by 1 again. it would have been tied if the umpire wouldn't have made a terrible call that lost us that tieing run. we were sooo disappointed that we lost. and the other team did not really deserve to win because when our pitcher was trying to pitch they were banging on the fence screaming AHHHHHHH trying to distract our pitcher........... and they were making fun of us and one girl gave my teammate a nasty look when we were saying good game....... but i guess there is still nationals and the Colorado tournament.... i will keep you updated.
