With several players unavailable to travel to Oklahoma Rocket Coaches changed their schedule to attend the 3rd Annual Basehor Field of Dreams Woody Wars a AFA Qualifier for the 14U-A Nationals. After a rough 5-2 lost to the KAOS on Saturday morning during pool games the Rockets came back strong the rest of the tournament. Placing second into the bracket Rockets-Vickers faced the KC Predators Black for game 1 on Sunday who they had shut out in pool 8- 0 and continued to not only shut out but run rule within the 3rd inning with over 15 minutes left on the clock in a 12-0 win and earning the players a nice break in between games. During the Championship against the Explosion the Rockets-Vickers remained strong and and put 3 runs in the book within the first inning, 3 additional runs scored within the second inning, 4 scored within the third and 1 in the fourth. The Explosion put up a fierce fight though, but for the Rockets- Vickers defense was a unbreakable wall until the top of the 4th inning when a single run scored against the Rockets. Overall the Rockets-Vickers experienced some very strong pitching from all teams but it didn't matter the winter batting practices paid off and the Rockets 50 hits, 39 runs and only allowing 7 led the team to victory this weekend. Pitcher Markie Letcho was honored as she had two shut out's against the KC Predator's Black. Congratulations Markie!
