We played a solid game with hits by Erin, Megan, Emily, Kiesha and Lisa. This opponent is clearly the strongest team in our division, with a very solid pitching roster so we did well, keeping them on their toes throughout the game.
Game 2 vs Sluggers
Another solid game with excellent defense in the first two innings. We learned some valuable lessons in the third about when to "eat" the ball....just getting it back to the pitcher when things go sideways.
Game 3 vs Bandits
Our bats went to sleep in this game, likely because of the significant change in pace with their pitcher having a slower delivery. We'll work on being able to adjust to the different speeds and styles of the pitchers we face!
Overall
The whole purpose of the Icebreaker is for teams to get out and play some ball and have some fun. Mistakes are part of the game and we need to learn from them, but not worry about them!! We have the makings of a great team and the coaches know that we'll see improvement with every practice and game. Well done, BLACK ICE!!!
Kudos to Erin, Lisa-Anne and Meghan Connorton for taking up this game for the first time this year. Without you, we wouldn't have had a team!! You're all doing SO well already....and the season has only just begun!!
