BTW - The 10U Westerville WarCats placed 3rd in 12U division of The Ohio Dragons Police and Fire Fastpitch Invitational in Westerville this weekend. With our ace pitcher on crutches, we got way down to the 12U Dragons, but didn't quit and, actually, almost cut their huge lead in half before the time limit.

Don't let anyone tell you that the one inch bigger balls and 5 extra feet to home plate don't matter!

I can't believe you played up... I have no idea how we would do, but I suspect KK would really struggle... let's make the friendly happen - we are off 2 weekends between now and Aug 1 - I'll pm you the dates.

The Hawks 10u Gold was awarded 1st place in the rain shortened tourney this weekend. The girls went 3-0 in bracket play on Saturday to claim the top seed. It is their 6th straight tourney win this season.

What was the competition like... Who was in this tourney?

There were 12 teams .. the stronger teams were: Hawks, Ohio Fire, Buckeye Blast, Cross County Cannons, Ambush (watched them play - nice team from Marysville I believe) and Ohio Danger... along with some younger teams...

how can you claim a victory or another tourment win when you did not even play a game that really counted. All you did was play the pool games. Could have turned out quite a bit different had you really played.

Charlene, I hear ya ... I would have rather have had played Sunday and won it that way as we had all the previous ones .. but mother nature stepped in. We played 3 full 6 inning pool play games - including a 1-0 battle with the Ohio Fire that had runners thrown out at the plate twice, double plays, great infield play, pitching and several deep fly balls ran down and caught, etc... it was the best and cleanest fastpitch game we have been part of this season.

As I told my players and the 12u which also was the top seed, you control with you can control. Pool play games are very much meaningful. They establish your seed and standing for Sunday. Many teams have lost a tourney on Saturday by dropping a critical pool play game.

We were asked to play 3 games and we won them and had the best run diff - that is what every team took the field trying to accomplish on Saturday. (And we did it using 3 different pitchers and moving our players around between infield and outfield as we try to do in a PP games.) The girls executed their pool play games the best and were rewarded for it. Every team from 10u to 16u accepted their trophies likewise, it in no way diminishes their accomplishment.
