What did everyone get up to this weekend?
Our first tournament went really well. We won both our pool games and seeded into the highest of the 3 brackets. #3 seed out of 21 teams, not bad for our first outing. We played a couple of really solid 05 teams in bracket and got sent home after losing both. The first one was 3-2 and lost in the final play. REALLY good game. They had a pitcher who was very fast and had a pretty decent riseball. That game was really exciting. The second bracket game was at 8 am. They got up on us 5 runs in the first inning, our only sloppy inning of the weekend (the 2nd inning they were still half asleep but looked better anyway). We woke up in the 3rd, tried to come back, lost 8-3 in the end.
We found out this weekend that our girls have great chemistry, and that at least right out of the gate we don't have any problem parents. Our defense really stood out except for those 2 bad innings and we don't have any major holes in our lineup. Pitching will be our weakness all year, I think. I'm hoping after fall we may pick up another bracket pitcher. We're holding the 12-spot for her, whoever she is.
