At school, I play on a team called the 14ers. The 14ers are mountains in Colorado, and my mountain nickname is "Pikes Peak." Well, on defense I play third base, and I do well... except for our last game.
I can play it in my head now. We were playing a good game, but we were losing. It was 6-5, the Snakes. At that time, me and my friend switched and I played left field. I was lucky, because the ball never comes to left field. EVER.
So one of the Snakes comes up to bat. He gets two balls before he hits the ball. It goes up into the air, but not very far, so first base was able to catch it. One out.
Then my friend comes up at bat. The pitcher throws a fastball. Strike one. Then it happened.
CRACK!
It went out of there like it was nothing. It flew up into the air, and you're not gonna believe where it came.
Left field. And I didn't catch it.
We lost.
So, if you have any suggestions on how I can do better, please respond. |

Don't go into the game with the attitude that it won't come to you.
EXPECT that it will come to you and be ready NO MATTER where you're playing. Once you get into Pony or Colt ball, people will start hitting to certain areas on the field. Most of the time you can expect a shot to left field with 0 runners on or a runner on first.
And make sure you watch the ball all the way into your glove. Run hard, track it down. If you run as hard as you can, you will catch it every time.

| But ever since 1987, it's not once come to left field. Not even the best player in the school league can hit it over there. |

Thanks, I'll take this into consideration.
Plus, we had another game. I played third base. I either play thrid base or left field at times. I'm an expert at third base. I already got 106 people out this season. Oh, and we CRUSHED them at our last game against the Champions. Seems they weren't. Final score was 16-2. The most exciting part of the game was when a bully who always says he's the best at everything STRUCK OUT! And I hit a grand slam at the end of the game, making it 15-1. It was actually quite fun. We face the Thugs Tuesday. |

| never get down on yourself, you can always make it up to your team, and yourself later. And don't dwell on the past, just move on. |
