(04/10/06) - Results for the Show Me Showcase in Jefferson City at the Fields of Legends complex are as follows: Sunday, April 9th @10:30 am vs. Central Missouri Crush (Bushman)on Field #4 WON 5 - 4 @1:30 pm vs. Legion of Doom (Cjeka) on Field #3 LOST 6 - 1 @4:30 pm vs. Unity Elite on Field #4 LOST 3 - 1 We ended up 4th place in this tournament and faced the best competition we have seen so far this season - besides the game with Chaos last weekend. We really had a decent weekend, but saw our batting averages plummet as a team. We need to get some consistency at the plate, but hopefully that will come with time and when we get all our team playing softball every week. We need to keep in mind that the elite teams in our age bracket don't have 50% of their girls playing other sports. Most of them practice once a week, hit once a week, and all of them work with private hitting instructors another day a week. We just don't have the ability to do that yet. Once we play regularly as a complete team, we will have better results. Our pitching was great! Congrats to Bree, Jana & Lindsay. Now we will need to get the gloves and bats to back them up. Keep in mind it is early in the season, and we will only get better. Think how much further along we are this year than we were a year ago. Good job on 4th place, girls!
