After a year away, the DIAMOND CHASERS reunited on the field to honor Jimmy Barfield, spouse of our assistant Coach Wendy who passed mid July in Richland Neuro ICU after suffering from a stroke.
We may have struggled getting our bats started in the pool games but we came out swinging in the bracket play. The day was to honor Jimmy no matter the outcome, we try very hard to be family and support one another - proud of the end result and the fact we played excellent defense all day then finally getting our offense rolling in the bracket games.
Marlee Black #2 received MVP in 1st bracket game batting 3 for 3 and scoring 3 of 10 runs.
Hannah Pack #3 received MVP in 2nd bracket game - coming in the game to get us out of a hard 1st inning and allowing only 1 run for the remainder of the game.
Lyza Prickelmyer #23 hits a home run scoring 2 runs to put us up 3-2 early in championship game.
Thank you Zy Ransom for being a great addition to the day and catching a majority of our 4 games.
Congratulations to our other Sumter team HotStyx on winning the Gold Bracket.
Thank you to all the players and families for your love and support not only for DC SOFTBALL but for Wendy as we celebrated the life of her husband Jimmy.
