Oak Hill vs Lisbon

Should I have laughed? It was Oak Hill vs Lisbon and everyone knows when these two teams play each other it’s game on in any sport, this game just happened to be girls softball. When you play the sport you do play to win espically when it comes to playing your rivals and Lisbon was a big rival of ours. I mean come on everyone loses a softball game once in a while but when it comes to rivials I personally thought it was funny. I know that I shouldn’t have laughed but I couldn’t stop myself. I mean think about it for a minute, if you were in my situation wouldn’t you brake a giggle? Even a little one, I understand that it probably wasn’t the right time or place but I couldn’t help it.

It was the beginning of the last ending and it was Oak Hill vs Lisbon and we were up by 20 points and everyone knows that these two teams should never play each other especially since they’ve been rivals since a football game a long time ago. Lisbon was up to bat and well you know the word that every batter HATES “Strike 3” and the girl from Lisbon started to cry, I didn’t want to laugh at her because those words do hurt deep inside but usually people never show their emotions, especially in a sport while the game is still happening. I know personally every time I hear those words I want to cry too because you feel like you just let the whole team down. I didn’t think about her feelings or her teams feelings I just laughed when I saw her start to wipe the tears from her eyes, I was so caught up in myself and the fact that we had just won the game. I laughed but I didn’t mean to I swear but at the same time half of our girls got strikes and didn’t cry about it, well at least not during the game or in the view of the other team. I was personally thinking that she was being a sore sport about the whole thing but then after I laughed I did feel bad.

After I thought about more later on I realized that what I did was wrong and that I shouldn’t have done it especially since her team just wanted her to make it to base so they could score again. This was a game that both teams loved playing and it at the same time I laughed at something that I probably shouldn’t have laughed at but it just came out, I mean everyone laughs at serious situations but this wasn’t one that I thought was to serious. After the game ended and we went back to our school I found the girl on social media and sent her a message to tell her I was sorry for laughing at her and that I felt bad. I also had told her that I was just so excited that we won because now we were going to playoffs.
