With eight games left in the regular season, and a team that started with 21 down to 18 (six of them being pitchers), the end of the season is approaching. We realized that we are all we have and how far we can go in post-season is on us and if we can come together. Moving the line-up and defense around due to the recent departure was another obstacle we had to tackle, along with our starting left-fielder being out with a concussion. But, we still have faith. Win the last eight games and we could host a regional. And who would have thought that this team, with all the ups and downs we have had, would be able to host a regional. Like I said, we have to win the last eight games, though.
The bus ride to Rome, Ga. was just like any other, except it was very wet. It rained the whole way up. Rain is never good for softball, especially if the field isn’t tarped the night before to keep the rain off the clay. So, the weekend we need to play, that can give us three easy wins, gets washed out. Instead of playing, we spent the weekend at the mall and were able to get back to Valdosta in time to go home for Easter. That was the main upside of the weekend.
Unable to play those three games spoiled our true chances of hosting a regional, so we’ll have to travel for both conference and regionals. At the end of the day, we’re just ecstatic to go to a regional after the season we have had.
