Once again, the SLAM! gets into the gold bracket and this weekend, they did not disappoint. It all started Saturday afternoon with a close 3-2 loss to the very tough Edmonds Starz team followed by a 4-2 win over the Khaos and a big victory over the Black Diamond Sparks. The SLAM! bats were on fire on Saturday and our pitching/defense was solid. Our outfield woes were shown to be a thing of the past as virtually everything “catch’able” on Saturday was caught. Dana spent a fair amount of the weekend patroling Center Field. Once Sunday rolled around, the SLAM! faced a very familiar team in the Maple Valley Fugitives Black. The SLAM! took off to an early 3-0 lead and never looked back ultimately winning the game 5-2.
Next up for the SLAM! was a very solid Diamond Dusters Gates team. The game was a back and forth battle with each team trading leads at the end of each inning. In the end, the SLAM! was propelled to a 6-5 victory by a solo-shot home run by Courtney. The title game featured the Hurricanes versus the SLAM! and the bats fell a little silent, as both teams played a tight game through. In the end, the Canes won 4-1.
I could not be happier with how the girls battled and how the bats came alive this weekend.
Next up for the SLAM! is the H&L Invite up in Marysville this coming weekend.
