up and enter in the "D"'s to see how we would do.....

Game 1 Vs Wear It
Wow was there alot of wind out in riverside and very cold too,it was very hard on both pitchers but just as bad for the batters because most fly balls just hung up
way to long and allowed the outfielders a chance to run them down,this lead to a slow start foe both teams it was 8-4 after three innings and the we busted out with
five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and took a 13-4 lead,and with good defence we shut them down the rest of the game and won 13-6

could not push across the runs it was 3-2 them after two innings then it was 8-3
after the next inning,we closed the gap little at a time but pulled up short and lost 9-7

This was now the loser's bracket and we had to win to stay in the tournament,we took a early lead after three innings at 7-4 but then they came back took a 10-7
lead after five innings,and after going with no runs scored in the fourth & fifth
inning we plated three in the six and nine in the top of the seventh inning to go
on to win 19-13.... nice come back

Game 4 Vs Remax
This team opened up on us early and just banged out run after run they started with
seven in the first inning and just kept scoring and it did not help the we could not put noting together.... so after four innings it was 21-4 so they thought they
had us and changed up there defence to let other players get in the game ,then are
bats came to life and we banged out ten runs in the fifth to close the gap at 21-14
we then shut them down the last three innings and hoped we could pull out a win but
fell short and lost 21-16.....day over and we went 2-2 on the day, not to bad but
