  • Thursday, July 27th - Another tough loss for the Diamond Cats that ended our World Series tournament!  A 5 - 3 loss in the last inning on a 2-run homerun.  The cats got down 3 - 0, and put a good inning together in the rain to tie it up!  Then as the rain continued to come down, the Illinois Shock managed to put 2 more on the board to beat us.  Lindsay pitched an awesome game, and the entire team battled tough to make it a close game.  Good defense and good choices at the plate were important!  The Shock team is tough...putting 4 over the fence against the Excel on Wednesday.  Good game, tough outcome!  We are proud of our Cats!
  • Wednesday, July 26th - What a heartbreaker!  The Cats played the New York Lady Bandits and had our game going!  We jumped on the Bandits and were winning 3 - 1 going into the 7th inning.  Some bad luck and their good luck lead to a 4 run inning for the Bandits on a grand slam homerun...and our half of the seventh ended scoreless after we loaded the bases with one out.  It seems that a win for the Bandits was set in the stars or something...Our girls played so well, and a series of events led to our loss!  What a great bunch of players we have - we will come back and get the wins rolling up tomorrow!  Cheer on your cats!
  • Tuesday, July 25th - Cats took 3rd in our pool with a win over the Alaska Northstars.  Our bats arrived from St. Louis and we won 16 - 3!  Jana pitched a great game and we played good defense.  The hitting was the key, though!  12 hits, 7 walks, and 6 stolen bases got our offense jump-started.  JJ and Jenna started off the game with walks and scoring on stolen bases with errors!  2 runs without a hit!  We got everyone involved and it was great fun!  Our first win in "A" Nationals!  Good job, Cats!
  • Monday, July 24th - Diamond Cats played their first game today at 3:30 pm against the Ohio Attack!  And, they attacked quick.  They scored 2 runs in the first inning and that was all the scoring for the rest of the game.  Lindsay pitched a 4-hitter against a very good team, and we played flawless defense behind her.  However, the bats were not up to the task as the opposition 1-hit us.  Jana got the only hit and Anna reached on an error as the only other base runner!  Ouch!  We hit the ball hard, but either right to someone or the defense made a stellar play on us.  It was a well played game and we are proud of our cats!!!  Our next game is at 11:00 am tomorrow on field #29 again.  Be rooting for your cats!
