Sorry for the long break from posting, but we are back up and running. The girls played in the Monster Ball Tournament up in Las Cruces this past weekend. A field of 13 teams were set to compete for this tournament and our girls were ready to play some competitive ball. We began Friday night with a game against NM Fire 1999 and the girls were able to come out with the win 7-4 with a great first inning of hitting that scored those 7 runs. Moving onto Saturday we went into our next pool game against Albuquerque Toxic where the girls scored well and played great defense with a 15-0 score. This set us up for our next game versus Dynamite. The girls battled, but too many errors allowed Dynamite to win 4-7. This set us up for bracket play with our first game against Albuquerque Venom at 8 p.m. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, this game was not played until about 9:30 p.m. and the girls couldn't wake up the bats or themselves and fell 5-3. Starting off in the losers bracket was not the intention, but the girls knew they had to battle back. The next game was against the Las Cruces Heat where the girls woke up the bats and themselves and won 12-4. Being in the loser's bracket, our next game was immediately after against El Paso SWAT. Pitching and defense were outstanding and we were able to pull out the victory 11-5. This gave us a game break and we learned we would be playing the Worth Thundercats from Arizona. The game started out really well with the score being 3-2 after the second, but the Thundercats hit very well and was able to put up 8 on us in the third securing the game 11-2. The girls are ready to put in more time and effort into becoming better ballplayers in order to do even better next time. We are going to hit the practice field and get ready for our next tournament, the 5th Annual Turkey Shootout in Seguin, TX. Go CATS!
