Thank you. It was fun to watch wish we had done better. The theme of the tournament was definitely hitting there were a lot of 7+ runs per team games. Saw some great teams and players.
Well our journey came to an end today in a high scoring affair with Team Georgia. Final was 15-7.
Shelby went 1/2 1bb 1 so 1 rbi
Alexia went 0/2 1run 1rbi 1so
That is what is what I was thinking, didn't work out though. I will say she hit a screamer into left that I still can't figure out how it was caught!! Great catch by the left fielder.
Static98 wins tonight in a high scoring affair. 11-8 was the final. Have to say I have never seen a tighter strike zone in all the games I have watched over the years. Both teams replaced their pitcher in the first inning. You pretty much had to pitch down the middle with some corners given. Nothing below mid thigh was called. We just hit the ball better and played better defense.
Alexia Snelbaker 0/2 2walks 2runs
Shelby Graybill 0/3 with a walk and 2k
Play Team Georgia tomorrow.
Static98 dropped this mornings game to the Sterling Steam 9-4. Once again leaving runners on base did us in. We out hit them and had less errors but could not push any runs across. We play again tonight at 8:30
Alexia Snelbaker 2/4 with 2 rbi
Shelby Graybill 1/4 with a double.
Static98 wins in dramatic fashion scoring 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th to down the Indy Dreams 6-5. We left 13 runners stranded including bases loaded 3 times with 1 or no outs. Alexia Snelbaker went 1 for 3 and Shelby went 1 for 4 with a double.
We were on just a two field complex today and we had Illinois watch our game and a Georgia coach saw the last half of our game. I figure we will see a ton more once we get to the main complex. I think it will help since last week was the PGF 14u Nationals on the number of coaches that will be present.
Static98 pounds Legends Elite 14-0 in a 4 inning run rule. Alexis Snelbaker goes 2 for 3 with 1 rbi. Shelby Graybill goes 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 5 rbi. Play Minnesota Renegades98 tomorrow for the #1 seed in our pool.
Normal, Illinois, they did opening ceremonies in a place called Corn Crib Stadium. It's a minor league baseball teams home field. It is very similar to the Florence Freedom. In fact they play the Freedom.
Am here this week for our nationals tournament. Will post updates on how Static98 is doing. Our first game is tomorrow against Legends Elite out of Virginia at 430cst. There are 126 teams here this week. Two girls from NKY on Static98 are Shelby Graybill and Alexis Snelbaker.
Maddy worked with her on defense my dd has a cannon and Maddy was helping her clean up her ground ball fielding and how good technique can be much more effective than throwing hard. The best part was standing back and watching them talk.
My dd got a chance to be put through the paces by the premier player in the entire area. She got to talk to Maddie about playing at the next level as well as having her own skills fine tuned. Definately time well spent, look forward to doing it again.
