These girls had themselves A DAY.
You never really know how a blind draw bracket is going to go. We drew a #8 seed out of 10 teams, meaning there would be no bye for us. These ladies were hot out of the gate, but even winning, wouldn't get them a break. They dug deep in the heat and carried on. They lost their fourth consecutive game 2-1, dropping them to the loser's bracket, where they'd have to fight to get out of... AND FIGHT, THEY DID.
These girls just won't quit. After winning a close semifinals game, they would have to double dip the undefeated team in the championship. They took it one pitch at a time, and their bats absolutely exploded! After 9 hard fought games, they ended their day as I-65 Shootout Champions with and 8-1 record.
It was a very long day for them, as they didn't get more than an hour break on the entire day.
They put in the work. They love this game, but more importantly, they love each other.
Great things happen when you play for something bigger than yourself. They are the definition of a BIG TEAM little me mentality. We couldn't be more proud of these determined little girls!
