It was a great first week of league play for our program! We finished 4-1 with lots of strong hitting, defensive plays, and solid pitching performances.
⸻
8U Twisters vs. Shockers
The girls played a great game. Everyone was hustling, communicating, and backing each other up defensively. We had solid hitting throughout the lineup and were much more aggressive on the bases. We also made several heads-up plays for outs.
Game ball: Tessa – for backing up plays, swinging hard, and consistently putting the ball in play.
⸻
10U vs. Khaos Teal
We came out a little flat and tense in the first inning, but once the girls loosened up, we started attacking good pitches and taking extra bases when opportunities were there.
Game ball: Camille – for coming in and pitching very well, while also doing a great job staying disciplined at the plate and swinging at good pitches.
⸻
12U vs. Sunflowers
We played a very back-and-forth game that unfortunately didn’t go our way in the end. Kayleigh pitched well and was just missing the corners with a tight strike zone.
Game ball: Lily L – for her hustle and consistently backing up plays.
⸻
12U vs. Knockouts
We had to adjust to some slower pitching, but the second time through the lineup we did a much better job waiting on the ball and finding ways to get on base. Defensively, the girls played very well and even turned a triple play!
Game ball: Harper – for several hard-hit balls and aggressive baserunning.
⸻
12U vs. Hot Mess
Our bats were a little quiet this game, but Lily F and Ella did their jobs in the circle and gave the infield opportunities to make plays behind them. We were aggressively around the bases which helped us force somee runs to help us win.
Game ball: Charlotte S – for making some amazing stops at first base to get much-needed outs and for putting the ball in play well at the plate.
