Sad Ending

It was not supposed to end like this. It was not supposed to go this way. I can't believe it's over...

Today, we lost to Northwest in the semi-finals 8 to 4. We got off to a good start, but couldn't close out the game. One bad inning, hurt us. Emotions were running high. Our two seniors didn't want to end their careers today, but unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.

As the day started, I could honestly say that my team had not checked out. They were all there ready to play hard. And they did. We just weren't the better team today.

The final gathering was a sad one as I was at a loss for words. The tears overwhelmed me before I even got to the circle of girls. They were all crying, heads hung low. I love this group of girls and their parents. It's the best team chemistry I've had in a long time. :( I am sad to see my two seniors Abby and Michelle graduate tomorrow. I will miss them.

I am truly thankful that my team did not quit before the season was over.
