Big time games last night for the Pleasanton championship.  We won the first game in come-from-behind-nail-biting fashion, with a last inning walk-off hit.  That got us into the championship game that was played right afterward on the same field.

Against the top-seeded team, we rode that momentum to an early lead.  But then our defense imploded with a series of costly errors that led to a 10-run inning … and sadly a couple of them were mine.  No excuses, I just sucked.

Offensively, we battled back to make it a 1-run game but couldn’t get the hits to fall in our final at-bat.  To the victors went the championship T-shirts, hoodies, and pride.  For us, “wait until next year.”

Still this team has come a long way since I first joined a couple years ago.  We didn’t win very often, and this was the first time we even made the playoffs.  So to have a strong season, and take second place is still pretty good considering where we’ve been.  But victory was so close it hurts!
