Posted Jun 6/10 - District Playdowns - Final Results
 My, oh my.....SO much to say....

The Black Ice players pulled together as a team in a BIG way this weekend.  The pitchers were ON....the defense was HOT....the offense was HUGE.   The coaches couldn't have dreamed of a better outcome!!!   The team seemed to draw on what they have learned from every past practice and game and put it all to work at just the right point in time.

After 3 games....42 runs scored by the Black ice.   Only 9 runs scored by the opposing teams. 

The Black Ice pitchers were the talk of the tournament....striking out 20+ batters over 13 innings.  And when the pitchers weren't striking out batters, the rest of the team was backing them up.....making outs at 1st....catching pop-ups....throwing runners out as they tried to steal an extra base. 

At the plate, the BI players were unstoppable.....SO many base hits....SO many RBIs.    The thing that the coaches noticed most was that even when a batter didn't get on base, their turn at the plate resulted in an RBI or stolen base.   We've talked about it all year....being aggressive at the plate and on the bases.....and the BI players LIVED it this weekend.  WOW!!!!

The parents must have been SO PROUD of their daughters this weekend.  The coaches sure were!!  The players looked and played like WINNERS!!!  

The coaches are SO thankful for the help of parents....
- Connie for score keeping
- Mike, Ken, Steve and Paul for help with warm-up
- Mike and Ken for coaching 1st base in Joan's absence
- Diana and Greg for capturing our performance in pictures!

And last but DEFINITELY not least.....my good friend JOAN for being my coaching partner despite not having a daughter on the team.  Now, THAT is a big contribution!!!

We're looking forward to DISTRICTS next weekend in Mission.   We're going to keep the momentum going as we look ahead to PROVINCIALS!!

See you at the game on Tuesday!
