My son's high school baseball team is having an unexpected losing season this year, but there's time to turn it around. We faced a few pitchers, who'll be pitching in Division I college next year, but the hitting and pitching has been less than what we all expected.

My son is currently hitting .350 and leads the team in rbis and he has played third and pitched well. However, we played a rival yesterday and as they battered a couple of our pitchers, my son came in with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the last inning. He got the first guy out on strikes, next guyached by error, and then the next batter hit a grand slam. My son knows this team well, having played with and against several of them in travel ball.

He got the next guy out, but he was pissed off. He told me last night that now he understands why pitchers would hit the following batter after a big homerun.
