The Softball Disappointment It is the bottom of the ninth and I was last at bat. The ball came zooming towards me at a high rate of speed. The vibration of metal meeting leather rang out in my hands. No hesitation was made. I dropped the bat and ran as fast as I could to first base. My coach was telling me to keep going because the ball was fumbled. I rounded third base and my coach motioned for me to take it home with a slide. Down I went. Dust was flying. The crowd was standing and cheering loudly

forward to just one thing all year‚ and that one thing got ruined. That is how I felt about this game. It completely crushed me. The Harleton softball game has shaped me because of the build up‚ the people around me‚ and how I felt during the game. The build up all started on the first day of softball practice. Right as I walked through the dugout door the softball team started talking about Harleton. One of my teammates was talking about Harleton’s pitcher‚ “Have y’all heard that RC is committed to Texas

During the summer‚ I participated in a travel softball team and it showed me sportsmanship and great character building skills. The summer before I came to ASMS‚ I hurt my rotator cuff and was unable to play the rest of the summer‚ and with coming to ASMS I had not played in almost a full year. When I started playing again‚ I barely played in tournaments. I usually sat the bench or “splinter field.” It really hurt my feelings for a while and even made me feel like I had lost my talent for the sport
