The Journey to Team Louisiana
Sweeping through the state tournament, on our way to the world series in Bluffton, South Carolina, until we run into the best team in the tournament. They put 10 runs on us in the 1st inning. All I can say is good thing it is double elimination. Waking up the next morning to a Bossier City, Louisiana was brutal. Nobody wanted to wake up on that bright and early morning and remember the horrific loss to JPRD. We had to forget about it, someone had to step up, and I was tired of waiting around. I told them that we had to forget about last night, and focus on Richland Parish at 5:30. We did exactly that. We arrived at the ballpark, Bennett Brown, who I warmed up with was a big factor to this game. On one hot sunny day at Walbrook Park, we were one win away from the State Championship. We started off the game pretty dry, tacked on a couple of runs in the bottom of the 6th, made it 3-1. They scored 3 in the top of the 7th to make it 4-3, we had one chance …show more content…
We play JPRD, the team that beat us 10-0 earlier in the tournament. The way the State Championship works is we play best 2 out of 3. We start our game, 2 wins away from our dreams coming true. Our pitcher Kade Woods is pitching lights out, we are up 3-0 everything is going our way until...there is a play at the plate. Kade gets ran over by the JPRD player, and Kade is ejected. Now things aren’t going great, they have the momentum and our starting pitcher is ejected. Although we still fight back to win the game 5-1. The next game things didn’t go our way again and we still won. Our dreams had came true we are Team Louisiana. One thing I learned this summer with that team is leadership skills. Second, I learned to never give up when things aren’t going your way. Finally, I learned that trying to fight things yourself is not the way to do things, do it as a team. If you learned anything from this story let it be never give
