St. Louis Diamond Cats

Cats... Results from the June 17th-18th State tournament were as follows: vs. Warcats LOST 9 - 6 vs. Fusion WON 4 - 3 (2 international tie-breaker innings) Well, we had a wet weekend! Playing in the rain all day Saturday, and then with the rest of the tournament cancelled! We played well against the Fusion, and not as well against the Warcats. However, we learned a lot from both games. We learned that if we play with fewer errors, we can beat a team with a good pitcher. We also learned that we don't have to hit the ball out of the park to score runs. We surprised the Fusion with some small ball and got them a little frustrated. Then, we just hit well enough to put them away. We got some good pitching from Jana and Lindsay! Great baserunning and timely defense helped out a lot! It is really unusual to have 9 teams in an age group with all 9 teams going 1 - 1 in pool play. There were some good teams and lots of parity out there. Even though it got rained out, we enjoyed our weekend with the team. We will have practice Tuesday night at Parkway Central from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. We are off on Thursday, and I will have this weekend's schedule as soon as I get one. See you at practice!
