2011 Rankings: 14U

[Iluvblue]

The pitcher that took one off the elbow was fine. She actually returned to pitch the first 5 or 6 innings of the championship game against AASA.

Thanks for asking:)

Any commits on the Grapette tourney overall? Fields, ect.?

[Coach Kat]

Played 12U at Louis Park. Fields were in good shape. There was a crew of 3-4 workers dragging and watering between each game. Games starts were staggered 15 minutes so fields could be prepped yet still keep the tourney on time. I thought the event was well run. Only major issue w/ Louis is the location in general and calling pitches from 75 feet away or running around to call them from the stands because the dugout openings are so far from the plate.

Fields were well maintained. But it was definitely BYOH .

It's not preseason anymore. Job well done OBS!

In no particular order here's the 4 teams that caught my attention this past weekend. If I left a team out I just didn't see them. Glad there's softball again!

OBS Monarchs
AASA
Silverstreak(Glad they're pickup players filled the holes nicely)
Lady Magic

Silverstreak is still looking for a player or two. We have two players out with injuries, including a broken ankle out until Memorial Day, and three players in high school. We could use a player or two for the Fresno Force tourney. Contact us at granger_sports@yahoo.com

Good job to both teams for making it to the championship game. That was a good game, but unfortunately the game did not get to finish because umpire called game before AASA had a chance to get their last ups. He basically took the game from girls who had played hard all weekend and didn't give them their fair chance to finish the game. Very unfortunate.

[fatcat]

Why did he call the game?

[sftbalmom]

Long story, but he was upset with AASA coach for complaining about a bad call. He basically told him to stay in dug out and when coach came out after inning, he gave him choice to stay in dug out or leave. Coach said he would leave but was talking to girls near dug out when blue just called ball game. Does not seem fair that he can do that. There was plenty of time left and they were entitled to their last ups.

So would that be umpires or coaches fault? (was a very good game though)
