The weather was damp but spirits were high! The girls had a great time and when offered the chance to bail out on Sunday's game, each and every one put their hand up in favour of playing. Great decision, team!!
Game 1 against Cloverdale Inferno on Friday night was a close one. Black Ice was swinging their bats and putting the ball in play. Cloverdale kept the pressure on, though, and managed to pull off the 5-3 win. Honorable mention to Emily with 3 unassisted outs at 1st. Congrats to Magena for MVP of this game.
Game 2 against Ridge Meadows Heat was bright and early on Saturday morning amongst the puddles. Again, Black Ice put the pressure on, loading the bases in all three innings. The score was 6-5 Heat at the end of the 2nd. The Heat held us in the top of the 3rd and scored 4 in the bottom, giving them the win. Honorable mention in this game to both Meghan and Jaden for tough play behind plate. Congrats to Karley for MVP of this game.
Game 3 against SSWR Canadiens...back in the rain on Sunday afternoon. This was the most exciting game of the three....with a back-and-forth score until the top of the 4th when the Ice girls scored 4. The Canadiens put the pressure on in the bottom of the 5th, scoring 2 but the Ice held them there. There was some great playing in this game, including a textbook relay from Carly in the outfield, saving one run....and when Georgia retrieved an overthrow and burned it home to Jaden, who applied the tag and saved another run....and also to Karley who pounded one out to right centre for a double. Final score 5-4 for Black Ice. Congrats to Jaden on the MVP for this game.
We loved the SSWR coach's comments at the end of the game....saying he thought our team had the coolest name ever! He also thought our helmet decals were awesome. I think kudos go to Kiesha on that....as I recall the team name was her idea.
We missed both Megan and Kiesha....hope you're with us this weekend for the playdowns.
