Anyone can beat another team any day of the week, but to consistently go through a BIG tournament with your top teams with longer games, you have to grind. You are only as good as your 3rd and 4th pitcher many of these times, plus you are only as good as your 2nd or 3rd catcher because these PGF tournaments many of times aren't your ONE-HIT wonders were you can just ride an ace the entire tournament. These other BS tourney 65 minute pool play drop dead or 70 ASA/USSSA bracket play stuff you can ride an ace the entire tournament.
PGF Crown Point -- 3rd Place Finish losing to the older 08 Bandits in the semifinals
Dangit Guys, lol.... I will full fledge LOBBY for my girls this weekend. I am 12-2-1 in the State of Ohio, with 1 of these losses as a drop dead friendly where we didn't get to bat in the last inning. STORM08 beat me in 3-1 friendly in a great FULL 7 inning game. I for sure own up to that loss and Pollard Girls played great and beat us. We played back to back that day and played vs Hool and lead by 3 late in the game and lost again in almost a full game 6-5. Pretty sure they just won the PGF Midwest 12U Premier division. Bats Academy National came in 3rd in the Premier Division who barely beat NWI Sox 08 in ITB the week before... NWI Sox 08 had another quality win beat Hool earlier this Spring also. We beat NWI Sox 08 this weekend in the Sweet Sixteen 6-3, along with Indy Shockwaves 08 Duel 13-1 in quarterfinals.. Duel had some close battles with Storm08, Orange08, and a 4-1 loss to Hool in the Fall.
No one wants to get beat by a younger team, no one, it is great to see that my girls are getting better facing all these Aces!! We only want the best, and for Finesse Mohawk, dude has had to have the extra 3 outs in a drop dead tournament twice to try to to beat my girls and then cries to play the game right. You had equal amount of at bats earlier in the game bro. WAY TO GET THAT TIE!!!
