The weekend of May 9-10, the team went north to the Bat State Banditz Mother's Day Bash in Chelmsford MA. What a difference from the week before. The tournament was well run, well communicated and very welcoming. The results were about the same but against a tougher group of teams. The defense stayed pretty solid and the offense showed signs of emerging. Although we finished the weekend with a 1-4 record (doubling our wins for the season) the team played much better all the way around.
On Saturday we lost to the Central Mass Lightning, followed by a thrilling 3-1 defeat by the Southern Maine Flame (a quality team all the way around) and we ended the day by being shelled by the Firecrackers Fury, with a little assistance.
Sunday morning the girls came with an attitude! We (#12 seed, out of 12) met up with the #8 Seeded Conklin Raiders and pulled off a 7-6 upset making the weekend. Next up was a great team, the #1 seeded Middlesex Crossfire, we did not truly show up for this game, although there were bright spots, and we went down in a 5 inning mercy 10-0.
Our older Blak team was defeated by the same Middlesex Crossfire in the semi-finals. They finished the weekend 4-2.
The team knows a bit more of itself now and confidence is growing. Next weekend it is our own Rose City Rumble.
