Last Game

Tonight was Darby's last softball game of the season. We missed several games while on vacation, so it was a bit of an abrupt ending for us. Also, because she was gone, she got bumped to the bottom of the batting order, so she only got one plate appearance, which was a walk. Additionally, she only got to play half of the game in the field, splitting time with another girl. That was a little disappointing. I get why it was that way, but if you're playing to win, you put your best people in the field, and I feel Darby is one of the better fielders, even though her offense is inconsistent at times. In any regard, we lost by a wide margin to a team that only had a couple losses to begin with. Not exactly the way we hopped end the year. That said, I think Darby learned a lot this season, defensively and offensively, so hopefully she'll retain that improvement and be an all around better player next season.
