Game 1 vs Richmond Attitude
The last time we faced this team we were at the "top of our game" at the end of last season when then beat us in the Provincials.   We surprised them on Saturday by giving them a run for their money right until the last batter in the bottom of the last inning when they took the lead by one lonely run.  Every single Black Ice batter had a good appearance at the plate and made the Richmond players work hard for the win.  The pitching staff did an outstanding job and were backed up by solid defense in the field. 

Our performance in this game was particularly good considering that the Attitude went on to win the tourney! 

Congrats in this game to the MVP ... Kiesha

Game 2 vs North Delta Lightning
The Lightning was a tough team with good pitching and great hitting.  Our hitters managed to load the bases in 3 of the 5 innings but we just couldn't blast the needed runs in. 

Congrats in this game to the MVP ... Kiesha (again!!)

Game 3 vs Tsawwassen Blaze
It was late in the day when we got to our third game.  Everyone was a bit tired and needing a post-lunch siesta.  But regardless, we got pumped up and took the field.  Megan had an outstanding game, striking out 9 Blaze players in 5 innings.  The defense backed up the pitcher and together, didn't allow the Blaze to score a single run.  At bats, we were on fire, scoring 10 runs in all.   Fantastic game!

Congrats in this game to the MVP ... Megan.

Game 4 vs. Squamish Eagles
We started out strong, with a score of 5-4 Eagles at the bottom of the 2nd.  We ran out of gas after that, though, and Squamish took the win.  

Congrats in this game to the MVP ... Olivia.

GREAT TOURNAMENT, BLACK ICE.  WE HAVE REALLY PICKED UP OUR GAME SINCE THE START OF THE SEASON.  WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO BE A "BUILDING" YEAR AND IT SURE LOOKS LIKE WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY TO BUILDING A COMPETITIVE TEAM!!
