Astros - 2-1 Record So Far

Yes, the 'Stros lost their first game last night with a final score of 4 - 7.  The other team had a FANTASTIC pitcher that pitched for 3 innings striking out all but 3 of our batters during that time.  Towards the end of the 3rd inning, he was getting tired and throwing some wild pitches.  Our boys were able to hit and get on the base scoring 2 runs.  It was 2 - 6 at the top of the 4th inning.  Possibly the Astros had a chance to win because the next pitcher was not that great.  The boys where able to hit and get on base.  Collin did strike out because he did not keep the eye on the ball when swinging.  Because of some fielding errors during the last two innings, they gave up 3-4 runs that did end up costing them the game.  Collin's "game" was off like several of the other kids.  Maybe a long weekend and the first day back to school made for some tired 3rd graders?  Not sure what was going on.  I could tell the coach was frustrated but he did not loose his cool.


Here is the coach telling the boys they did play hard but, because of those errors, it cost them the game.  Good to get a loss in at the beginning of the season.  Maybe the boys will wake up and realize they have to play their best for EVERY game.
