It was really tough on pitching, he is the Ace for the team. He had a no-hitter through four Innings Tuesday got pulled in the fourth so he could pitch again on Friday. They ended up losing the game on Tuesday. His team has been terrible this year. He has pitched in 12 games all but two he pitched well enough that they should have won easily. I'm talking about holding the opposing team to 2 hit 1 earned run and still losing the games. He's thrown three complete games that they've lost. Held the other team to less than three hits in each game and less than 2er lost, 4-6, 0-3, 2-5. It is really frustrating to see routine plays get f***** up. It is really hurting his chances to go to a better school to play. He will go to some showcases this summer and play on a travel team out of Birmingham more than likely. He played on one last summer and it was awesome.

This is a frustrating situation to be in. But what it does do going forward is forge a mental toughness that I'm not sure you can get otherwise. And someday when he does get the support it will make it that much sweeter.
