Day Two - Cold - Rain - Wind


Well another bright and early start. The game starts and the flood gates open. From the sky the rain pours in and on the field our defense starts to fail us. With a slippery softballs and cold wet girls it was hard to get any traction. The blaze fell behind early and couldn't claw there way back. They tried to mount there comback in the 5th inning bringing the string of hits but fell just a little short.
After a delay and much discussion of going home the final game of the day started at noon. With the rain coming down and the teeth chattering the Blaze put on there game faces and hit the field. Giving up four runs in the top of the first there was no denying the Blaze girls. They followed up with 8 runs of their own in the bottom 1/2 of the inning. In the next 3 innings the girls gave up 4 more runs while scoring 15 of there own. Ending the game in 4 innings with a 23 - 8 Victory.

The victory gave the Blaze a 3rd place finish for their first tournament. The season is definitely off and running.
