Peaches had another great tournament and another heartbreaking loss to end it. They ended up finishing in the A bracket in fourth place! Saturday started out on a high note when they beat the Southern Crush in the warm-up game 5-1. The Peaches then played the Lady Legends and won a close game 9-8. Next came the Carolina Stars. While the game was close for a long time a couple of errors led to a big inning for the Stars and they ended up taking it 8-3.Now in the losers bracket of the A bracket they played the Southern Crush again. This time was much tighter but the Peaches won out 5-4 in an International Tie Breaker. Now came a great team - The Carolina Angels- who had lost to the eventual champions (Piedmont Braves) by 1 run earlier. This was a great back and fourth game. Every time the Peaches went up by a couple of runs the Angels came back to tie it in the bottom of the inning. Finally we had to go to a International Tie Breaker in this game also. In the top of the inning our offense really came alive. Caiti had a big double with the bases loaded. Bubbles and Carolyn also had big hits that scored runs and we went up by 5! But guess what... we had a call not go our way and the Angels hit the ball well (plus a couple mental mistakes that should have been outs) and that allowed the Angels to score 5 in their half. We couldn't score the next inning and the Angels won by 1 run. Once again so close.
This team is head and shoulders better than they were just a couple months ago. You can just see the way they play and that they really believe they can win. It is really fun to watch them play. I cannot wait until they finally get some breaks. Then they will really be dangerous!!
