You read that right. 42 runs. This was a no-hoper game. During warm ups, I turned to Adam (Head Coach) and asked him how big Massapequa was. His reply: They are all bigger than Zach. Zach is our biggest player. Uh-oh. They won their opener, 29-1. Uh-oh x2. During a pregame chat, their coach, who was pretty humble (yes, settle down, a humble New Yorker), tried explaining their opener by saying the other team got demoralized. So they made errors then? No, don't remember them making any, actually. Uh-oh x3. We were down 9-0 in the first and it got worse from there. Can't say we played well, can't say we played terrible, because how we played didn't matter. They were too good for us in every aspect of the game.
If you think this sapped the team's spirits, think again. Once reality set in, the kids accepted their fate well. I think all 12 kids knew that at some point, a beatdown was coming.
