St. Louis Diamond Cats

July 27 – 31, 2011

USSA St. Louis National Invitational Tournament – Record 4 – 3 – 0

3^rd place out of 6 teams – 16U Open

We chose to play in the 16U Open division of the USSSA NIT held at Chesterfield to help us prepare for the “real” nationals the following week at ABC.  We felt the older division would give us the best competition, and we did not care about winning this week.  The real championship was yet to come, and we wanted to be ready.  The girls played hard, got ready for the weather being so hot, and really got rolling towards their goal of ending the year with a win!

2.    vs. Worth Prospects (Speaks 14U) – won 9 – 3
