Chili Peppers

Brackets were set up great(I am kidding), with the 2nd place team(Panthers) taking on the 3rd place team(us) in the league in a 9 team tournament with the winner taking on the 1st place team. We played the Panthers in the first round and it was by far the most exciting game of the year. It turned into a pitchers dual with Jessica going for us. Jessica also got us our 1st run by hitting a triple and then scoring on Katie's groundout. Jessica then struck out the first 6 batters she faced before giving up a run in the 3rd on a walk and a double. The other pitcher struck out 9 in a row. We played 7 innings(time limit had not even been hit yet)and the scored was still tied. In extra innings they place a girl on second to start the inning. Jessica was still pitching and got a strikeout and then a groundout which got the runner to third base. The next batter walked and that brought up their best hitter. Jessica struck her out for her 19th strikeout. We just had to score to win. Ashlee was put on 2nd base and Katie was up. We asked Katie to bunt her to third. Katie made a beautiful bunt down 1st base line and Ashlee went to third. Nikki was up next, after being reminded by the coaches to lay off the high pitches Nikki swung at one over her head and knocked it to right field for the game winning hit!!!
