They defeated AASA for the second time in as many days, 2-1 for the tournament title, before that they handed Vacaville SunDevils a 5-0 loss earlier in the day. They also went 3-0 on Saturday, 5-1 over Cencal, 11-6 over Folsom Freedom and 1-0 over AASA.
The week before that they were in the championship game against Valley Stompers at the NSA Bilson's Father's Day Classic. Girls still talk about that one, Stompers were up 2-0, our girls score 6 runs to make it 6-2 then Stompers come back towards the end of the game to score 5 and win it. That was great game to watch.
Prior to that was the NSA Baden Sports Classic (2 weeks ago), The girls defeated Roseville Heat 99 6-2 and Grapettes-Kappmeyer 7-0 to get to the final game, only to lose to Roseville Heat 98 8-5. On the day before the girls also lost a close one to Roseville Heat 98 2-0.
May not be ASA tournaments, but our girls are enjoying the game, and no doubt the parents are too.
Also want to give a shout out to Roseville Heat, our girls were really impressed with your team when they played them. "They showed a lot of class and good sportsmanship" is what our girls said. Also not easily forgotten are the Valley Stompers, girls would like to play them again.
Nevertheless, there was some good softball to watch over the past three weekends.
Sorry about the post, seems more like praise for my dd's team (Los Banos Tigers) than contributing to the rankings. Don't know if this will affect standings for anyone.
Random comment from a SoCal 14U dad...I don't think there's anything wrong with boasting a bit about your DD and/or her team. As long as you do it with class and respect as you have here.
