12u Season Rankings UPDATED 6/12

[girlshaveballs]

You must have missed a little more than just this last weekend.....or be a Magic Fan/parent

First of all this weekend was FRIENDLY FORMAT. Batting 12 and dong other things that aren't usually done on Sundays.

all teams won and lost this weekend.

Storm did not beat Grapes-K

As for Memorial Day there were some very solid matchups on Monday. What do you expect on Saturday pool play anyways Sunday is all that really matters in the end!

On the upper side of the gold bracket the Stompers knocked out Storm early and Rapids beat Foothill Gold and Stompers to get to the Champ game. Grapes K went through Hype by 5, Magic by 8 and beat a solid Rapids team in a very close game in the Championship. KG out early on Monday as well. Not sure how much more you could have asked for in terms of competition or who was missing there. Again, guess you Must be a Magic fan/parent. They're gonna have to do a bit more to earn their way up the rankings in my opinion.

I was out at some of those games this weekend, and if that was a friendly you missed the action. Based on the way coaches were acting (including at least 1 ejection today), I'd say they were playing to win. As for Magic, I'll be patient and see where this team is in a year or two since their teams tend to be late bloomers.

LM went 4-1 on the weekend.

Game 1: LM 9 Grapettes E 4
Game 2: LM 11 Foothill Gold 1
Game 3: TC 5 LM 0

Game 4: LM 8 Grapettes K 0
Game 5: LM 7 Ca Rapids 0

As a coach of the TC 12u team I would ask you what was so priceless about our win over you guys this weekend? To our staff it was just another game played against coaches and players who have had a mutual respect for one another since back in the Elk Grove Rec Ball days. Was our team and staff happy? Of course, we played a strong team with a great line up and enjoyed a game where our pitcher threw a 1 hitter against a very solid hitting team. If you are trying to imply that our team acted out of sorts in anyway at all, feel free to give me a call to discuss the matter if you would like. Your entire staff has my contact info.

I would like to be one of the first to say nice job this weekend Magic. We have a ton of friends and a few ex players on the team and it's always nice to see them play well. We always enjoy watching the girls play and normally sit down with you every chance we get at tourneys to cheer you on.

Thank you
Coach Leppanen

I wouldn't say a coach being ejected in a friendly means they were playing to win. I think we all agree the umpires were terrible so my guess is he was arguing over a bad call. I saw a lo of coaches do this; this one just wasn't as lucky as the other coaches. HA HA Poor guy.

Definitely some of the worst umpiring this year. Strike zones were terrible and I saw so many bad calls for both sides it would have been a more effective 12u friendly with coach umps. Waste of gas except for the Almighty Magic I guess....... Those wins were big to them. REally, lets see a championship.

Well, thank u everyone players/ coaches/ parents. For putting time and money into ur players. I know it didn't go as expected and my deep apologies, but one thing i could appreciate is.. all softball players got their reps in...thanks to all that helped, and were flexible with their teams in making this event happen.

Storm went 2-1-2
Won Rapids, Team Ca
Loss Rockets
Tie Grapettes-K, Hype

[handsinsidetheball]

Thank you James...We enjoyed our weekend and thank you for the effort you put into this event.

To bring in the top 12u teams on the same weekend is a challenge in itself not to mention the field avalibility, heat, etc...

There was some issues, but none the less, the competition was the best in NorCal and the kids played some great games.

Respect to your players, they did a great job and beat us fair and square. That said, congratulations on winning the game and good luck at Metros. I have removed the comment, but check your PM.

I would agree about the umpires, but the calls went both ways from what I saw. How coaches choose to react to those calls is up to them, not the umpires. As for LM, they did win a PGF bid earlier last month?

[NorCalBaller123]

I guess they did qualify. That tourney had some real weak links as well. They beat a couple teams but not consistently winning anything else when it counts. Lets stop focusing on LM and look at some others that have had more consistent success vs. tough teams and champ wins.
