We hosted the Emeralds Showdown this past weekend. Great teams, horrible weather, amazing softball! While our pool play games got rained out on Friday, we played 2 games indoors to help teams get games in. The entire event was blind drawn into split brackets. Gold or Silver had no relevance this weekend. While numerous “top level” teams attended the event, in my opinion, the gold was the harder bracket! We were placed in the Gold. We soundly beat Racers08 and then had a bad inning vs Hawks 08 Ford (runner-up Gold) that did us in! We went 3-1 on the weekend.
There are never moral victories, but as we head into our last event of the year, I believe that we have competed with most of the teams we have seen at all the top events this year. I believe that every player on this team has gotten better, while playing every child in every game! We have had the same roster in every event except one in the fall when we had some illness and a last minute when we filled in for another “top”team that dropped out. Our pitchers have pitched every inning of the season! We won or lost with our girls!
This has been a great year for us and as a true 11u team; we competed! I hope everyone has had a great year and continues to stay classy!
Last event is World Series in two weekends!
