This one is difficult to believe if what I hear was true. BB was 2-1 with a bad 3-10 loss to TX Elite-Bancroft. One of my buddy's DD is on the team and he said it was 0-10 with final batters coming up to the plate with them loaded and she hit one over left fielders head. That was how they scored the 3 was in the final plays!

Ladycats did not have an "ACTUAL" loss. It was a tie that was decided by number of batters at the plate. Not a loss on the scoreboard.

Tx Legends loses 0-1 to Batbusters, then ties Austin Storm and TX Elite Bancroft and wins both tie breakers.

Texas Elite Loses on and actual game (1-0 over Ladycats-which he said was a great game.) and 2-tie breakers for a loss to end up out of the top.

I guess what is being told to me was that Ladycats and TX Elite were the best 2 teams there and only Ladycats got placed (should have been first) and TX Elite is left out.

Just doesn't seem right to me, but hey........I wasn't there!

Someone correct me if I heard wrong please.

Someone correct me if I heard wrong please.

You did not hear wrong. Kind of wacky how it turned out, but it just happens that way sometimes. For those in attendance, it was clear who the top teams were.

Thanks justawatcher.

Sounds like I missed some good games.
I hate to lean towards TX Elite-Bancroft, but I don't have any buddies on the others teams.
I hear Ladycats looked very solid pitching, defense, and offense.
I hear Legends looked great defensively but a little shaky on offense.
I hear TX Trouble was about the same as last season. Quick on the bases. Normal everywhere else.
I hear Storm was aggressive both at the plate and on the bases.
No information on Stix.

What did you see?

Thanks justawatcher.
What did you see?

Honestly what I saw was a bunch of teams that looked like they were playing in their first tournament after 2 months of rainy weekends

Ladycats/Elite Ban. teams probably stood out the most to me. I thought Trouble looked good from what I saw as well. Again, everyone looked pretty rusty in the games I was able to watch. I think that's probably the story everywhere in DFW right now though.

[HUH???]

Your probably right.
Might not get a good representation of these teams till High School ball is over, and they get a bit more playing time in.

The 12U in NRH was much the same... hard to tell who's going to do what this early on, but there were some new teams struggling to start out... And some clubs trying to knock off some rust from the cold wet weather.

Teams that looked strong before the rain:
Austin Stars
McKinney Fireballs 98
Mizuno 98
Dangerzone
Texas Force
Black Widows
Fully Loaded
Lady Chaos

Looked like some teams shaking off the rust. Some had less rust than others. It was some enjoyable softball to watch though considering it is so early in the season. Looks to be an interesting Spring.

Anyone else get to see any games at the Keller 14U?

I just found out about this web-site and love it! I've been reading all morning..... Question, I was out in Keller this last weekend, but did not get to see the game Ladycats/Elite, since previous posts mention this being the toughest pool and these two teams had a great game, can someone tell me if it was a truly defenisve game (kinda figured due to the low score) or was it more of a pitchers duel. Just wondering since we're signed up to to play in a tournament later this month and both teams will be there! Thanks!!
