Opening Day!

Where to begin? :) We were 1-1 on the day and while we did some very good things on the ballfield all day, we have some things we need to work on and clean up.

I guess I'll start with our travel day on Thursday. We got in some good BP during the day and were all set for a 6pm flight. Well that was delayed due to the crazy amount of wind we had and we didn't get in the air until close to 9 o'clock. It was about midnight by the time all the kids got to bed and about 1am by the time I hit the pillow.

Game day - 6:30am breakfast and headed to the park at 7 for a 9 and 11 o'clock game.

Game 1 - Western Carolina - We had a very strong start to the season with a 7-1 victory. We had the shut-out going into the bottom of the 7th, got a little sloppy defensively and gave up the 1 run. For some reason those last 3 to 6 outs of a ball game are tough to get.

Game 2 - Villanova - Started right where we left off swinging the bats and put up 3 runs in the first inning. We were in control thru 4 innings, gave up a couple of runs and were still up by 1 going into the 7th and let it slip away losing 6-5. Pretty frustrating loss but I think we learned a lot about what we need to do to manage a game with a lead. A little better decision making and we are 2-0.

Tommorrow we face UCF and UT-Arlington.

By the way.......the weather is beautiful!!!!
