St. Louis Diamond Cats

(06/05/05) - The 14U St. Louis Diamond Cats played in their first 16U Tournament in Sullivan, Missouri! Our girls from the area appreciated the rest of the team doing the driving for a change. Sullivan was a good drive for some of the St. Louis families, but it was worth it. The girls played some really good softball. We tied with the Xplosion with 3 wins and 1 tie, but they got the first place trophies because of the tie breaker. The first tie breaker was points scored against, and both team allowed only 4 runs for the whole tournament. So, it went to the second tie breaker, which was points scored for, and they scored a few more runs than we did! Bummer! The girls did a good job, though, getting some great pitching from Sil, Ashley, and Lindsay. The offense was good enough to win, but we hit into some outs that if they had been inches either direction, would have been big hits! Oh, well, softball can be a game of inches! Our schedule for games was as follows: Saturday, June 4th 2:00 pm Field #4 vs. Osage Fastpitch - WON 7 - 2 Saturday, June 4th 5:00 pm Field #3 vs. St. Louis Xplosion - TIE 2 - 2 Sunday, June 5th 11:30 am Field #4 vs. Gateway Storm - WON 3 - 0 Sunday, June 5th 4:00 pm Field #3 vs. Washington Rebels - WON 6 - 0 What a good weekend! It was hot and windy, but it was a good time! A tune up for STATE!!! Go D-Cats!
