Brigham City Invitational 12u

We drove to Idaho..oops I mean Brig City for this weekends tournament.  What a beautiful lil town.  We played as 12s this weekend.  There was a total of 13 teams participating. 

Pool games started on Thursday.  First game against Attitude Roadrunners.  It was a good game.  The girls played well and we won that game.
Second pool game was against Utah Rebels.  This would be our first time playing this team.  Final score of the game was 2-1 Rebels.  What an intense ending.  Good game for the girls tho.

Bracket games were played on Friday and Saturday.  For as far as we were driving, I didn't like that it was sooo spread out.  But with everyones work sched's, we didn't plan accomdations closer to BC.  Oh well.  Our first brack game was played against Syndrome.  We had never played this team either.  The funny thing is, they played shallow, infield and outfield when our team went up to bat first.  Right after they figured out our girls are hitter, everyone moved back.  Its always funny to watch.  LOL.  We won that game 7-5.  Thank goodness cause I thought for sure we'd be out by Saturday.  I'm soo horrible.  2nd game was against a very good SL Pegasus team.  No words other than, good pitcher that our bats just would not come.  Oh well.. I think final on that game was 10-0.  Wow..

Saturday morning we played Fury and Swatt.. We won both games and kept us in there longer than any of us had expected.  We were illiminated by Kaos team with a score of 9-1.  it was too bad.  But the girls had a great time.  The thing we loved about this tournament is that fact that we played teams we haven't played all season.  The girls played well in the 12u division and it showed by how far we went in the tourn.  They progress more and more.  Keep it up ladies!!!

Keisha, Daisy, Huntyr, Coach Averil
Brooklyn, Harlie, Kamora, Alyxx, Libby



Our HS girls played well and was undefeated throughout.. Our semi-final game against Sliders was intense.  The score was tied a 1 for several innings.  And they were the home team.  When time finally expired we had our last at bat and we were at the bottom of our line up.  How nerve racking.  Our lil girls came thru for us tho.  Our 6, 7, 8 batters all got on base.  Alyxx, Libby, Brooklyn.  Daisy was our #9 batter.  Bases are now loaded.  I'm a nervous reck.  She gets 2 strikes.  Finally connects with the ball with a hit over right fields head.. GRAND SLAM everyone comes home.  Score is now 5-1.  Totally awesome .. But they were home team.  Fortunately we were able to only allow them 2 more runs before ending the game.  Final score was 5-3. Awesome game.  And on to the ship game we went.. it Started @ 1030pm after a 4 hour rest.. Boy were we tired.  We fought back and forth in the Ship game as well.. it went into international tie breaker against a very good Sliders team. Final score of 7-6 to give us the lead and win.. We are CHAMPS.  i LOVE that our girls are hitting and hitting.  We have a couple grand slams and many home runs throughout the tournament.  I am sooo very proud of them all..

Coach Gil, Lome, Janae, Bubbles and Coach Foi



It was a slow start during Pool gams.  Lost all 3 games.  Even lost first bracket game and had to fight to stay in .. They played 6 back to back games and hung in there and stayed in it to play in the SHIP game that night.. It started at 1030pm as well.. And by then the weather was cold and windy and starting to sprinkle. It was a slow game and they eventually lost to a very good UC Diamond Heels team.  Score of 7-1.  Still very proud of these young girls.  They are learning and growing and enjoying their time.  2nd place is a good start for tournament play.. Good job BOOM!!.

 

We went home tired cold and happy .. We got home after midnight .. All for the love of softball ;)

10u Copper Classic

We have playing 12u all year long and getting our butts kids .. So to keep our girls sane and boost their confidence back to 10u division we went for this tournament.  Well at least thats how I saw it.. LOL  There were 10 teams total that participated.

It was an adjustment to go back to the smalled 11' ball and the slower pitching. We all anticipated this. Our girls had a struggle at bat. And our first innings always showed it. The pitching is slower than in the 12u division which the girls have gotten use too. Fortunately everyone was able to get the hang of it and hit hit hit that ball.. We had 3 infield homerun hits by Daisy, Huntyr and Kamora.. Winning that game against UC Revolution put us in the Championship game.. YAY!!

UC Revolution played Sliders to determine who would play our team in the ship game. During the ship game against Rev, Ms Huntyr hit an over the fence HOMERUN.. It was a nice hit. First one (over the fence) in her career. Trust it won't be the last. Good job Huntyr Girl..

Our team came out Champions. Definitely a fun game. Big props to UC Rev's..they definitely have a great team and always fun times when we play them.

Hot Shotz Hoorah!!!
