Ashton's Last Baseball Game

Ashton's team lost their second tournament game Thursday night. It was such a great game, but so LONG because it was tied up every inning, so we had to play a 7th inning (tournaments only last 6 innings). Our game started at 8pm and finally ended at 11pm. I know... 11PM??? At about 9:30pm, all the players (on both teams) were so tired. That's pretty much why we lost the game because our defense was not what it normally was. We played this team earlier in the season and run ruled them. The game Thursday night went back and forth for most innings and we bat last. At the bottom of the 7th inning, we had 2 balls hit straight to their 1st baseman which made 2 outs for us. We were down by 2 runs, the score was 31-29. Our little girl runner on third ran home, skipped OVER the home plate (proudly) and the other team's player stepped on the plate about 2 steps after her to make her out since she never touched the plate. WE WERE ALL IN SHOCK that the game ended that way. She would have made it 31-30 and we had a good hitter up next with bases loaded. We would have made it to another inning. Who knows what would have happened after that. It was still a great, intense game. They all played hard and were just so exhausted. Ashton was upset that they lost and was angry at the other team. lol. So funny. He just loves baseball so much. He wanted the pirates to keep playing. =) Here's some pictures of him with the team, getting their trophies.
