Wow, what a week! First a great big thank you to Becca Dean and Kat Burbrink for going to Moline, Illinois and playing with us. You both were a HUGE asset to our success!! One of our key players (Madyson Moran) had to have foot surgery the day we left for Moline, Illinois - leaving us with only 9 players. Of course she and Chad made it out to Moline by Monday's game. :) The girls got the toughest draw they could get. First having to play an extra game while everyone else rested. They won that and second game they faced Corona Angels '95. WOW, they were the real deal - fastest girls I have ever seen. The girls held them till the fourth inning but then they started hitting. We still gave them a tough game. They had 8 hits, we had 4. After that, the girls had to battle some very tough teams in the losers brackett. They won 3 games Saturday and on Sunday they had to win 4 games to stay in it. They won the first game out but fell short to the Atlanta Vipers - but the girls fought till the very end. I know everyone was proud of our girls after every single game. Cincy Doom '95 was AWESOME! Also, a great big thank you to our photographer Brianna Hutchinson! She took a lot of excellent pictures this week!!!
