Wow - Championship game between Team Mizuno and the Bombers was as good as it gets. Great ball playing by both teams. Went into ITB and although Mizuno came out on top this time - it could go either way. Congrats to both teams.
I also want to make a note that I could not believe some of the bad sportsmanship that I saw this weekend. Girls at 10 yrs old playing dirty ball and parents coming out of the stands threatening other parents from the opposing team. I even saw the police show up. Come on people this is a youth tournament - we all need to act like adults and teach our kids how to play ball without playing dirty.

All that I heard was that it involved someone from Southern Edge and a parent/fan of another team that got into an argument over who knows what.
All and all it was a great weekend of softball IMO. A bunch of very close games and ties.
If the games were this close and exciting, wait till this coming weekend for what should shape up to be an excellent tourney.
Just hope that sportsmanship is at a level in which peace officers aren't called to the scene!

It was not the Southern Edge. It was another team from Oklahoma

Walked in on the back side of this fight and it was the Oklahoma Bad Girlz team parents that were removed unless I totally missed a second fight. I have no idea what play or call led to the fight/arguement but it really doesn't matter. It happened when the Rough Riders and Bad Girlz were playing. I don't think Southern Edge was involved at all. They were on a different field. I guess there could have been two fights though. The games between the Edge and Black Sox and the Rough Riders and Bad Girlz got heated - I mean competition wise. Both games were for the right to go to the bracket round. Winning team in each moved through and they were closely contested games with the teams that won winning in the last inning. Congrats to the girls and shame on the parents. It is 10U ball and not exactly a national title on the line. GRAB A REALITY CHECK!!! I feel sorry for the kids whose parents felt it appropriate to EMBARASS their teams in such a manner. The coaches need to deal with this type of behavior.
Congrats to Mizuno on winning as well as the Bombers for playing so well. That was one heck of a game. And the above posts are correct, either team could have won on any given day. Look forward to catching some of the games next weekend.
FYI - came in during last half of the day (pool) and for bracket just to watch - wanted to catch championship game and saw some people with lots of electronics working the championship game. Anybody know what they were doing? Seemed like a lot more than video taping a game. Was standing over on first base side and none of the parents seemed to know. Just curious.

Great weekend to got out and watch some softball - Good teams, great weather (after the rain), and a nicely run tournament.
The Mizuno / Bomber championship was one intense game at the end and yes it could have been anyones ball game.

I would like to add one thing that seems to have been over looked. I along with many others are of the opinion that the umpire crews working the tournaments at North Richland Hills have been top notch for the most part.
Umpires are not perfect but these umpires are as close as you might be able to get to being just that in comparison to other umpires that I have seen all over the place. They all seem very professional and they really care for the safety of the girls.
Great Job Blues!

I also would like to say "Thanks" to North Richland Hills and the umpires for holding such a good tournament. The rain tried to beat everyone this weekend however NRH's and the Cobra's stepped up and struck a victory.
Regarding the game of the Roughriders vs. OK Bad Girls. I knew going into this game there would be a lot of "drama". This team is known for it!!! I was told on Saturday night the pitcher from one of the other teams hit one of the OK Bad Girls on accident and when they was shaking hands the pitcher got slapped in the face by one of the OK Bad Girls. The tags during our game in my opinion was extensive and uncalled for in my opinion however it is what it is. It is unfortunate the parents and one of the coaches from the OK Bad Girls was flying the "F-bomb" as much as they was during this 10 yr old event.
It was mentioned in a earlier post, it came down to the last inning. I guess you can say that it did take all the innings of the game to win, however the RoughRiders beat them from inning #1 to the last inning, 5-0.
Thanks,
John Fellers
