USSSA World Series - West Covina, CA

The El Paso Ladycats took off to California on July 28th to play in the World Series.  The girls prepared hard and were ready to play some softball.  Our first three pool games truly tested our girls and served as a wake up call.  The first two games were losses 8-0 and 6-1 against So Cal Primetime and American Athletics.  The last pool game was a nail biter which the girls pulled out 9-8 against Redland Reds.  This seeded us 4th in our pool and set us up in bracket against So Cal Swagger which the girls showed resilience again and pulled out the win 8-6.  Our next game was against So Cal Choppers-Black and our bats never woke up and we lost 14-0.  Going down into the losers bracket we knew the road would be long and our next game was against So Cal Dreams which the girls won 13-10.  Our next game was against the Titans.  This game was rough as we led going into the last at bat by the Titans 4-2.  They manufactured four runs and the game ended with the Titans pulling out the victory 6-4.  The girls had a blast and were able to see some competition outside of the West Texas area making them more all around players.  The girls were awarded with the sportsmanship award for the 10U division.  Great job girls, coaches, and family on getting these girls to California and we are looking forward to the next half of the season.  Go LadyCats!
