What a great tournament.  The fields were spectacular, the competition was great and we had lots of great fun.  Swimming at the farm, getting our cars “TP’d” by the fugitives after beating them, fighting through the loser’s bracket, playing teams with different styles.  What a great time.

I am very happy to see how the girls have grown over this year.  With one more tournament left before the Fall season, I can definitely say this team has improved beyond my expectations this year.

GO SLAM!

Big thanks to the Kiwanis of Fife-Milton for helping us out with the fees for this tournament!

The SLAM! battled the heat and a half a dozen teams over the weekend.  First up was the Capital City Lady Outlaws.  The SLAM! prevailed with a 3-0 win to get the ball rolling.  Next up was the Skagit Valley Thunder — the eventual champions of the tournament.  The SLAM! battled hard and lost 7-6 in a barn-burner of a game.

Off to the pool for the evening.

Saturday morning, the SLAM! came out on FIRE with a shutout victory over the Whatcom Warriors.  The SLAM! popped over for a nice team lunch at a local mexican restaurant and then returned to the fields to prevail over the Walla Wall Fusion.  Following that victory, the SLAM! shutout the Columbia Basin Ice and then in the 3rd back to back game in a row ( and 4th of the day ) took on our local rival, the Maple Valley Fugitives Black.

It was a very exciting game, but the SLAM! fell short 3-2 which ended their wonderful run.

What a great weekend.  Next up is the NSA Western World Series down in Portland.

The SLAM! gets off to a hot start at Metros

Despite the February-like conditions, the SLAM! got off to a hot start at Metros this weekend by beating the Fugitives 6-0 and then in a rain-resumed game at a different field, beating the Diamond Dusters 6-2.  The SLAM! hit the ball fairly well today and Nicole handled all the innings on the mound.  Nicole 25 strikeouts in 2 games spanning 12 innings… ( WOW! )   Faith took a ball 5 feet short of the right field fence and great plays were made all over the place.  Angela just missed a ball with a sweet dive at short and did some major damage with her bat today.  Dana hit a key 3-run, bases-clearing triple to break the Dusters game wide-open.  Breanna and Analee had some great sacrifice bunts and Mallori held down 3rd really well today in her 2nd tournament with the SLAM!

Next up for the SLAM! is the Stilly Valley Crusaders at Russell Road on….Father’s Day!
