One memorable experience I have endured is when my Baseball team won 1st place in the league. The winning score to the game was 12-10. The game happen a Saturday afternoon and i was playing against a team from Santa Ynez. I had only met most of my team members that year because i moved up a division in the baseball League. We had been training for this moment for one year, and many including me, have been playing baseball since we were younger. As the first inning passed we took the lead 5-3 creating a palpable feeling of victory mixed with cockiness in the air. That quickly changed when the other team took the lead in the 5 inning 8-5. We started to loses hope when Noe Hit a line drive into right center gap scoring 2 and putting himself in a scoring position. Our excitement quieted down when the inning ended and the opposing team scored an additional two runs making it 10 - 7 lucky a few easy hits made it easy for us to end that inning. After the that inning a few good hits and a solid defense won us the game.This experience help teach me to not give up even when it seems hopeless. I would then go to face many of my teammates when we moved to the higher divisions. This moment was one of the most memorable moments in my life and i will always remember it
