After a tough ITB loss to #10's Dads team we fought our way back through the losers bracket to earn a berth to PGF Nationals. Kudos' to #10's Dad for earning the winners bracket berth. BTW - his DD has the game winning RBI against us in an 11 innings ITB - I am just glad it was not off my DD!!!

I will have to check GameChanger, but I would have scored her hit as a single and a two base error on RF for misjudging the ball....but I am pitchers dad, so I am more critical than most.


Here is my understanding of the protest that was upheld.
DD was the DP and F1 was the flex. When F1 got into trouble our HC was bringing DD in to hopefully pitch out of the jam (great thinking on his part because it did not burn my DD pitching a game we very well could lose anyway). That was working great, but in the 4th inning he decide to bring in our #4 pitcher who has a good change up to try to throw off the batters timing instead of using my DD. When the HC did that the DP and Flex were both out of the game. If the HC had put my DD into RF he would have been fine, but pulling them both out of the game at the same time, and then putting my DD back into the game after that batter was a substitution infraction. Therefore, y'all protested the game and when the protest was upheld, they resorted back to the 4th inning when the infraction occurred. At that point both the starting P and my DD were "burned" and not eligible to pitch, which is why we had to bring in our 3rd pitcher to finish the game.

The pitcher we brought in creating the infraction, walked one batter on 4 straight pitches and was replaced....just dayum!

Yeah im still lost. LOL I couldn't keep up with how many pitchers he used. That's the first time I have ever saw that many girls pitch to a batter get pulled and then go back. I will say both times your DD came in with bases loaded and 2 out she got her girl out which was impressive. Glad Yall got your berth!

Congrats! Was this 16U or 18U? What did you think of the N.C. teams if you saw any? I saw the Carolina Cardinals went deep in 16U.
18's We played Lady Blues I think they were from Carolina and a Lady lightning Gold team. Lady lightning had a good team. The Blues was a young team I think.

18U

As #10s Dad mentioned the Lady Lighting Miken Gold team was there, but Brooke Perry was not. DD was looking for her because she is going to Purdue. We were missing two for HS graduations and I imagine some players may still have proms in some states.

Lady Blues had a very good starting pitcher, CF hit a bomb, and their SS is solid. They are young and I bet a lot of their players are still 16U eligible.

GA teams had a big advantage in this qualifier since we have been playing TB since Feb, while the NC, SC and VA teams have been playing HS ball.

Thanks for the report. The 18U isn't fully updated online, so I thought it might've been rained out.

The Lady Lightning team might've been Premier instead of Miken. Both are very good.
