CT Bombers Black 12-U

Home at last!!!!!  Having experienced the thrill of winning a championship two weeks earlier, the girls came in hungry to capture our own tournament.  First up we face the Shoreline Sting, with a recipe of strong pitching and solid defense/offense, we secured a 10-0 win.  Our second game we greeted America’s Game, who had beaten us 2-1 in a scrimmage a few weeks earlier).  So, it was time to avenge our reputation.  With stellar pitching and concrete defense we controlled the game with an 8-0 shutout behind 1-hit ball.  In the third game of the day, we faced the Stratford Breakers, who were no match for our rock-hard play, giving us a dominated victory, 13-0 1-hit shutout propelling us to a #1 seed.  We outscored our opponents 31-0 and only gave up 3 hits!!! Sunday’s first game was a rematch against America’s Game.  Trailing for the first time this weekend (after one inning) the 12U CT Bombers Black never looked back and ran away with the game winning 9-1 sending us to the semi-finals.  The semi-finals matched us with a familiar foe, the CT Eliminators Red.  With strong pitching we locked them down winning 6-1 sending us to the finals for the second time in 3 tournaments.

“Remember the Titans”  In a rematch from an earlier game at the “Dome” in January, we faced off against the CT Titans Blue, a very quick and aggressive team.  The Titans jumped out to an early lead.  Behind their strong pitching, they held us at bay until late in the game.  With a rally in the 6^th inning, our team went into the 7^th inning trailing by one.  Loading the bases, with 2 outs, still trailing by one, we lined out to end the game 4-3.  That was an awesome game to be a part of and one that will surely make us stronger.  A 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place finishes for our first 3 Spring 2009 tournaments.  NOT BAD!!!
