This weekend we played in the USA Luck Of The Irish tournament. It was originally a 2-day. Then it was condensed to a 1-day. Then it was canceled by the park (thanks to the Friday rains). Then it was back…. but at a different park. The day started cold and windy with muddy infields. As the day warmed up, the fields began to dry. It turned out to be a great day for some softball.
We went 2-1 in our pool in a tie with two other teams. The run differential dropped us to the silver bracket where we hit and pitched our way into the championship game against the EC Bullets 08 - Gravley team. We got them earlier in the day in pool play but they jumped on us early and held on for the win in the championship game, 7-5. We learned a lot about ourselves yesterday and how competing until the end pays off. Stepping up and playing tough competition makes us stronger.
We had several offensive and defensive standouts from this weekend.
Hitting:
RBI - 6, A . Teems
RBI - 2, P. Uhlis, E. Stevenson, K. Bleisath, A. Stroud, L. Smith
HR - A. Teems
3B - A. Teems
2B - A. Teems, K. Bleisath, L. Smith
Multiple hits - K. Bleisath, R. Dooley, E. Stevenson, P. Uhlis, K. Redd, M. Tucker
Defensively, we had several outstanding plays made in the outfield. Sliding catches (Olivia), on the fly catches (Abi, MB, Laila), on the money throws gunning down runners and some diving stops on the dirt.
Pitching:
K’s - L. Smith (7), A. Teems (4)
Runs Allowed - R. Dooley (0), A. Teems (2)

This weekend we played in the USSSA March Madness tournament. We went 3-0 in pool play while earning the #1 overall seed heading into bracket play. That earned us a bye in the first round. We lost out to a stout Buford 08 team in the gold bracket championship game 5-4. We ended the day 4-1 and played really well for most of the day. We had a few “we can’t do that moments” but we rallied and got them corrected. I love the growth and determination of this team.
As a team we hit .396 and totaled 36 hits through the 5 games including 3 doubles (Kaitlyn, Abi, and Macy Brooks), 1 triple (Paige), and one dinger (Myka).
Batting Average leaders: K-Redd and Paige .571, Kaitlyn and Laila .500, and Aleksah .455.
We had 22 RBI with Abi (5), Kaitlyn (4), and EK (3) leading the way. K-Redd and Aleksah lead the team in runs scored with (5) and Laila added 4. Reagan lead the team in walks with 4 in 10 at bats.
