The World According to Leslie

So last night we played again....in the drizzle! I almost pulled Chasity out of the game, but decided to see how hard the rain was going to get! It wasn't bad....so I left her in the game! She did great! She even got the game ball.... Why??? I'm so glad you asked! lol In the first inning, she got a single and knocked a run in. That tied the game at 3-3! Then in the 2nd inning, she got out going to 1st base, but she still knocked in another run. That tied us up 6-6! Then the next batter knocked in the winning run, but because it is a church league, everyone bats every inning (at least in the 5-6 year olds!)! (I think that's a great rule!!) Anyways....the final batter knocked in one more run so we won 8-6! What does that mean? Well....it means that we play tonight again! At 6:30pm we play (if it isn't storming....they are calling for bad storms!). Tonight's game is against a team that also played last night. We aren't sure yet who we play....I did...

Wow! I know I have said it before, but 5-6 year old baseball is stressful! I'm going to have heart failure if they keep playing like this! Monday night, we played a team that we had met twice in regular season. We won once; we lost once! We were hoping to avoid them for a while in the tournament! Anyways.... after Friday night's loss to the Braves (10-9)....we had to play Saturday morning. We won! It went into a single overtime, but we won. Friday night's game went into overtime also! So then we had to play Monday night. OMG!!!!! We played the White Sox--this was going to be the tie breaker for our two teams! Because there is an hour time limit, we usually play 2 innings. Fine.... we can do that! BUT....Monday night, we were tied at the end of the 2nd. So we played our next 4 batters and they played their next 4 batters.... at the beginning of OT, the score was 7-7. At the end of those 8 batters (our 4 and their 4) the score was 9-9. Now.... OT #2. We sco...
