Say What?!!!

Ok here's the scenario; bottom of the 7th inning bases loaded 1 out tied game 5:5. Kyle's up to bat (Mom's about to throw up, I guess this is a better situation than having 2 outs). First pitch ball, second pitch a swing and a miss, 3 pitch a high fly ball out toward left center. Kid runs up to catch it, it goes over his head and 2 runs score, end of game! Not bad however, I'm watching the guys come out of the dugout and Kyle's heads down and he's got the face. Everyone is congratulating him on the great hit. After "the talk" we walk out to put the bags in the car and I'm talking to him. Here's what he's upset about; "I didn't swing all the way through, it was a terrible hit." "What would the hit have been like if I swung right?" "The game wouldn't have been tied had we done.... (fill in the blanks here)" You just won a terrific game and your upset because there were errors? And the answer is yes to those of you who are wondering if he analyses every game like this.
