Good game, bad loss

Opening Day in baseball for The Playmaker yesterday.  He was the starting shortstop.  He singled in the opening stanza to drive in our first run of the game/season.  After two innings we trailed, 6-1.  He came in to pitch in the third inning.  He notched a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout, pop out, strike out.  In the fourth inning he gave up a single and a walk, but struck out the cleanup hitter with runners on first and third to get out of the inning.  His pitching line was: 2 innings pitched, 1 hit, 1 walk, 0 runs, 4 K's.  When he left after four, we were ahead 8-6 and he was in line to get the W.  Unfortunately the kid who relieved him sheeeeeet the bed and gave up 6 runs over the final two innings.  We ended up losing, 12-9.  At the plate, The Playmaker was 1-1 with 2 RBIs and 2 walks (one with the bases loaded).  Oh, yeah, in the fifth inning he played catcher and nailed a kid trying to steal second.
