Our young 14U ladies did it again by winning another exciting tournament Championship! Out of 6 teams, we earned the #1 seed in pool play on Saturday by defeating Hortonville 7-3, and then finished the day by defeating Central WI Breeze 6-1. Sunday's semifinal game had us matched up again with Central WI. After a slow start, the girls had to overcome a 2 run deficit and prevailed 4-2 to move on to the championship game to face again the much older Hortonville. Uncharacteristically, our team dug ourseleves a huge hole and found us down 0-9 in the 4th inning. Seemed as though the game was over, but this team never gives in. So here is where true character and a team's heart is is tested... We had a meeting on the mound and took a gut-check - the girls decided to dig really deep and get back into the fight and play Powerhouse softball. We then scratched 3 runs to get on the board, and then it happened...the best comeback in our team's history - the girls shut down anything Hortonville tried to muster on offense, and our offense attacked and attacked inning by inning to come out with an 11-9 come-from-behind victory and earn another Championship title!!
Attitude, heart, and the determination to work harder than the others is who we are...we have a long way to go, but we are starting to discover who we are and what we can do when we put everything we've been blessed with out on the diamond and work together; and more importantly, these young ladies will take what is experienced here and apply what they've learned in these special times out into the world as they mature.
Well done ladies! Amazing comeback against the odds!! You are young, but that never stopped you from believing in yourselves, your abilities, and your teammates!!!
Special congrats goes out to our Emily Higgins for earning the Championship game MVP!
