So after only a few days off, the girls were back at it again in Las Cruces for another 10 game guarantee. With soaring temperatures of over 100 degrees all weekend, the girls began with 7 pool games. Starting on Thursday, the girls played well going 3-0. On Friday, we were scheduled for pool games and at least one bracket game. To close out the pool games the girls went 3-0-1, with the tie being a coaching decision between us and the Sliders to get the girls out of the heat for a little bit due to the extreme temperatures. Our first bracket game was against Q.O.D. which the girls took care of business winning 13-0. The second bracket game was against Lady Legends, which the girls came out on top 9-1. We then faced the AZ Power and struggled for a couple of innings until small ball came through and we ended up winning 13-6. Next up on Sunday was the semi-final against Dynamite, which the girls lost 4-1. Placing ourselves in the loser's bracket we knew we had a long road back and ended up losing our next game 7-4 against the Sliders. With the hot temperatures and the many games that we played in the last two weekends, the girls did well. We ended up 3rd in a group of 16 teams, with a record of 8-2-1. We are proud of our girls and coaches and are looking forward to the USSSA World Series in West Covina, CA. We presented our 3rd place trophy to Ajae for being our inspiration throughout this weekend and in life. She will always be #1 in our hearts as she recuperates and gets stronger with each passing day.
