Chili Peppers

In our first tournament of the year we did a great job and took home the gold. We did a great job hitting, fielding, and running the bases. We won 4 games and only lost one for the weekend. Our first game we started off slowly and were losing 3-7 after the 1st inning but then the next two innings we got hot and out scored the Hot Stix 14-0 to win 17-7. The second game of the day we took on a very good team, Red Hots, and once again started off slow by being down 2-14 after two innings. We tried to come back but could not score enough runs and lost 7-16. Our 3rd game of the day was against the Angels and this time we scored quick and then let the score get close when we gave up 7 runs in the last inning but won 17-13 without us having to bat in the bottom of the 4th. We took the 2 seed for tournament and drew the Angels for the next day. It turned into a defensive battle and the score was tied 5-5 after 3 innings. We got hot with the bats and scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 4th to take a good lead and then held on to a 11-9 victory. In the Championship game we got to play the only team to beat us, Red Hots. It did not look good as we got off to our slow start and got down 2-10 after 2 innings. Then we started our comeback and after 3 innings it was 8-13. In the top of the 4th we scored 7 runs and took a 15-13 lead. In the bottom of the 4th we gave up one run and with the bases loaded we got the 3rd out. Congratulations girls on a great tournament!!!!!
