5 innings 3 runs on 5 hits 1walk 2ks

I threw the ball very well today.  The fourth inning is when they got their runs but I made some pretty good pitches that they just hit.  I had really good control of my fastball today.  The vulcan was pretty good.  I started losing it towards the end of my outing though.  I only threw 69 pitches but they said they had to throw some other guys so I was pretty aggravated I didn't go more than 5 but that's out of my control.  This has been my best outing yet.  I am frustrated I keep getting losses but that's just how things are going for me right now.  But I got a lot of good feedback from my coaches and teammates.  Im getting better but not where I need to be yet.  Thanks for the prayers and support.

4 innings 3 runs on 6 hits 0 walks and 1k

Lot better day today.  I got a 9 out of 12 ground ball outs.  I gave up two hits that just found a hole in the infield and one flare over second base, so they only hit 3 balls hard.  I only threw two off speed pitches because my two seam was working so well but I also was having a problem throwing first pitch strikes.  I threw a lot of strikes, but that first pitch strike is key.  I was also on a lower pitch count due to missing a start from hurting my back.   But there were a lot of positives to take from this despite getting another loss.  I can feel myself getting better and I am working hard everyday.  Thanks for the prayers and support and please keep them coming.  James 1:12

Game #2
3 1/3  7 hits  7 runs 5 earned 2 walks 2 ks   I think most of this is right but I could be off can't really remember.

I threw a lot better this game but I just had a lot of bad luck.  I threw strikes and felt like most of them were located pretty well.  I talked to the catcher and he said that I was hitting my spots but they just hit it.  I think only 3 hits were hard hit balls that you just have to tip your hat to.  The other ones were flares or well placed balls that you can't do anything about.  Things aren't going good right now but I am competing and I know I can succeed.  For some reason I am just going through a tough time right now.  But I am working hard everyday to get better.  Thanks for the prayers and support, they are appreciated.
