Welcome back! Today is the our 2nd game of the season. We play at Enloe at 4 p.m. We all have some of mixed emotions playing this team because last season when we played them, we had a complete shutout against them (sports term for completely wiping the other team out), so we felt like we had nothing to worry about this season when we play them. But recently, our Varsity team played Enloe not too long ago and the game was close. I'm pretty sure we were only up by one when the game ended, but it was totally unexpected because it's Enloe, they're literally know for being terrible at every sport, so for the few JV players that went to the game to support the Varsity team, we were a little worried about what Enloe's JV team looked like. I'm sure if we continue to work hard we'll have nothing to worry about. But we'll what happens this afternoon...

              Well I guess somethings just don't change. The final score was 27-4 Millbrook. Another shutout. Just like last year, their pitcher walked everyone ( "walked" means that the pitcher threw 4   balls, or bad pitches, and the batter was allowed to take a base). The best part about their pitcher was the level of frustration she had towards her teammates when they were on the field. At one point,   got upset with them for not moving up on a bunt (when a batter holds their bat towards the pitcher to gently knock the ball down) but I don't blame them for just standing there because in order to
make a play, the ball has to be hit. In order for that to happen, the batter has to make contact with the ball, and for that to happen the pitcher has to make a GOOD or DECENT pitch and she failed to do so. In my opinion, she should've kept herself in check before getting upset with the team, because their defense is pretty good. The main reason why we were able to get such a huge lead on them was because of their pitcher.
                         
               Maybe next Friday things will be a bit better for Enloe. But for now, we have to worry about Panther's Creek. I'm betting that they will give us a run for our money. We play them at home on Monday so we have a few more practices until the game. Hopefully we can put up a decent fight in this game. Until next time!
