14u League Redwood

One of our leagues this season we are playing up in the 14u division.  We aren't expecting to win games but after such good games last nite during our first 2 games, I think we may actually have some go chances.  LOL.  Girls played well.  I love that our young girls are intimidated or at all scared to play the older teams.  They just go out there, play their game and have fun.  And also messing around and dancing in the dugout.  Here's some recaps of our games...

12u SoJo League CHAMPS

yep.. our ladies in HOT pink SHOTZ took another one home.  And on Halloween eve with nice cool weather.  The final tournament of the league was delayed several weeks due to weather.  We were glad to finally get it done with and end our fall season off on a good note.  An unfortunate loss to UT Predators due to weather put us in the losers bracket.  We played our way back into the SHIP battle-ing undefeated 2nd year 12u Liberty.. Of course that meant we had to beat them twice to be CHAMPIONS.  and that we did.  First game we were up the whole game.  However, they were the home team.  Time expires and they are batting and scoring.. How nerve wrecking.  they could have caught up and won.  Fortunately our girls defense held them and won a close one of 5-4.. Now to do it again.. Girls are on a high from their win.  So much so that the IF game was cake.  No seriously it was..  We won the actual SHIP game 10-2 and brought home another medal and title.  So proud of these girls.  12u is looking darn good for us so far.. Lets keep it going ladies.. And that is the END of the season.. Get to rest a lil and then bring it on 2013..

We got together and made dinner for the team .. Good times.  We definitely need to do this more often.  Happy parents equals a happy team..haha 

12u Redwood League

 Kamora, Daisy, Huntyr, Tuli, Bubblegum

Spring Redwood League is over.. Its definitely been a long season.  It is our 2nd year of 10u and being that we have several World Series tournaments this year so our coach thought it would be a good experience to have our girls play 12u this year.  It was a big adjustment with the bigger 12' ball and the farther pitching mound.  Our girls have definitely worked hard.  We lost several games at first and then began to get into the swing of things and the game at the 12u level.  We ended the league playing Grantsville Toxic for championship and WE WON!!!!  Yay!!!

So proud of our girls and all the hard work they put into their game.  Each player have progressed so much and contributed in our win.  What an amazing group of girls and coaches.
