Lil Lefty's adjusted team entered a USA 10U tournament in Cayuga, New York - home of the Love Canal. Three players on her regular team were too old so three other players were were picked up from other teams and added to the Tiger team for this tournament.When the schedule came out, I was happy to find that we did not have a Friday night game and played at 11:30am Saturday. The fields are just about an hour from our house over the US-Canada border.
It rained all morning Saturday and games were delayed and eventually cancelled for the day. We went to a movie, swam and shopped at the outlet mall. The entire tournament was played on Sunday with two pool games and then a single elimination bracket. After the two pool games, we were seeded second out of 10 teams.
As expected, Lil Lefty spent the day on the bases.
She hit well with several line drives to right field.
We played 19-20 innings in 4 games. The skill level of the teams varied significantly. Lil' Lefty pitched 4 innings and struck out 12, including the side the last inning she went in as relief against the team that eliminated the Tigers.
We won't win a lot of tournaments with Lil' Lefty only pitching 4 innings. I don't think there was a lot that could have been done... just the way the schedule fell...
We were back home at 8:30pm Sunday night.
