That was one AMAZING weekend of ball. Once again our pitchers were FANTASTIC!!! How lucky we are to have the one-two-punch of Karley and Magena on the mound. And NEVER forget that those pitchers need their GREAT catcher behind the plate to make it all work. AND.....that pitching can't win a game alone. We backed our pitchers up with some AWESOME defense. AND our hitters were also FANTASTIC. Most notable was Carly J with WICKED doubles, triples and a home run. And let's not forget that MANY other batters who moved runners around the bases.
Each and every Black Ice player had a memorable moment this weekend....at the plate, or on defense, or running the bases. TOO MANY GREAT THINGS for this coach to remember (especially without the score sheets which had to be handed in to the tournament folks). We KNOW that EVERY PLAYER had at least one good hit this weekend. That's how a team winsGOLD!!
Basically, from the coaches' point of view, it boils down to this.......you supported one another in defense and in offense.....you lived the "all for one and one for all" attitude that we asked you to live. You didn't give up even when things were tense. You kept finding a hit to keep the inning alive.
YOU WON GOLD BECAUSE YOU PLAYED LIKE A TEAM!!!
Many thanks, once again to.... Connie for being our VERY dedicated score keeper Cathy for being Doctor on Call (how great is that???)
