As you can see from the picture we finally had a great tournament. The girls played very well and ended the tournament with 4 wins and 2 losses and the BB Bracket Champions!!
They started out Saturday by beating the AA bracket team PC Magic in the warmup game. Can't remember what the score was.
Their first bracket game was against the Lady Wofpack. The bats came alive and they won 9-3.
The second bracket game was against the C.C. Untouchables. This was a great defensive battle
but the Peaches came up just short 2-1. One timely hit would have made the difference as we had runners in scoring position several times. That team actually went on to finish second in the B bracket.
Sunday started on a sour note. The only bad game of the tournament for the Peaches. They played the Charlotte Chargers. After we took the lead 2-1 we proceeded to give up several runs on errors. Could have easily won this game but ended on the losing end 5-3.
That dropped us into the BB bracket. The girls never gave up hope though and beat the Spirit Blue 5-2 in the first game which put them into the championship game of the bracket.
The championship game was a rematch of the first bracket game with the Lady Wolfpack. The girls bunted well, hit well, played awesome defense and ended winning the championship 8-1 earning a 4-2 weekend record. They each won batting helmets and 2 free entries into 2 World Series tournaments later this year!
There were too many great plays to list them all and I would forget something I am sure. I will mention that Elizabeth had a bases loaded double in the championship game!! That was a huge hit! I am proud of all the girls. It was a great weekend for the PEACHES!!
Now the bad news. Molly, who is by far the fastest runner on the team, broke her ankle in practice and will be out for a while. Hopefully not too long. Graycen got hit with a ball pitching today. Hopefully it isn't serious but we don't know yet.
