A tough, but encouraging loss

We lost our first game to the Red Sox 5-3.

We looked like we had a first-rate case of the first-game jitters, giving up 4 runs in the top of the first. Once we settled down, we played them even. Our pitching was solid, we stuck with the same pitcher through the game. He was nervous at the start, but once again, once he got his feet underneath him, he was lights out.

Our weaknesses are pretty much what we thought they were, and my previous post sums up the situation pretty well.

Monday we'll work on throwing, and hitting stances. We'll also work with our other pitchers on mechanics and mind set.

We competed hard, and never hung our heads, even when we were down 5-0 through 4 1/2.

We've proven we can compete. Next we need to prove we can win.
