After being rained out last week the tournament kicked off with a couple of interesting games.
Vista Murrieta 1 0 1 0 0 3=5-7-2
West Ranch 0 0 1 0 0 4=5-5-0
Ta'amilo vs Foster
The game started well for the Broncos as the West Ranch right fielder played Moranda's single into a triple and Sierra Romero got her home with a sac fly. In the 2nd Sydney Romero singled to RF and Keller was hit by a pitch but Foster struck out the next 3 hitters to escape damage. Vista extended their lead in the 3rd on Sierra Romero's solo HR. The Wildcats got one back in the 3rd on a BB, stolen base, E-2 and RBI-single by Sorenson.. The Wildcats batted 6 so 1 run was cheap enough. Sorenson doubled in the 5th and went to 3rd on a passed ball but they couldn't get her in. VM thought they had put the game away in the top of the 6th. Sierra Romero hit another solo HR, Segura walked and Sydney Romero singled. After a sacrifice Datil got an RBI single to CF and another run scored when the CF couldn't handle the ball cleanly. When the 1st 2 Wildcats went out in the 6th it looked like a Vista win was in the bag and it would have been if not a 2-base errror by the RF. Consecutive walks loaded the bases and a hit batter forced in a run. Sorenson then cleared the bases with a double to the gap to tie the score. Both Lindvalls walked, Janelle intentionally, to reload the bases but Ia'amilo got the final out. Since the umpires didn't get the word about going to ITB the game ended in a tie.
