We played in USSSA A State this weekend. It was our first A level tournament as a team, and most of our girls don't have much A ball experience yet. My only real hope was that we wouldn't get blown out by any other 06 teams.
I was really proud of them. They made more errors than our last tournament which was an open with mostly B teams. I think the level of play just made it tougher for some of them in certain plays. But they did really well overall. We played three 06 teams. Two losses, one very close (8 to 7), neither a blow out, and one win. Both 05 teams we played in bracket beat us, but only one was a blow out (12-0, ouch, but the other was just 7-3). We did make it to play on Sunday though we only got one game. I think it was a pretty decent start.
On a personal note DD hit really well, only one strike out all weekend (against the better of the 05 teams we played) and a couple of triples. She started pitching against both 05 teams. She gave up a decent number of runs but she kept her cool. We had inconsistent strike zones all weekend (lots of teams were complaining about this, it seems like a lot of the umpires just couldn't decide where the strikes were) but she handled it well.
You go
