So it turns out that Maddie was "sick" the last weekend. She did have a rash starting the Tuesday before the tournament, said she never felt well. (See my previous post)
Maddie had a rough weekend in the dirt, so I was excited to get back out there... our Friday night pool game was cancelled because of rain, and based on a blind draw our first game was Saturday at 9AM against the Thunderstixx.
The Thunderstixx always play late into Sunday and usually place. They finished first in the last tournament where Maddie wasn't herself. Maddie had pitched a couple games for them in February as a warm-up. I wasn't impressed, but they seem to always win.
We beat the Thunderstixx Saturday AM 5-3 and there was never a doubt. Maddie pitched 4 innings with 8 Ks and ended the game with a K. Not a "pulled" solid hit. Was always in control.
Maddie pitched the late Saturday game against an Oklahoma team and eventual tournament winner. She did MUCH better than I had expected. We lost 2-0 with both unearned runs. A dropped pop-up at second and a double pump from short allowed both runs to score. Can't win against good teams when don't make routine plays...
The loss dropped us to the loser's bracket and we played the Thunderstixx again Sunday AM. Again, Maddie was dominant and we won 3-0. Maddie had 7 Ks in 5 innings and was never in doubt... the Thunderstixx had a good tournament, except when they faced Maddie...
We lost the game after, Maddie rested a few innings on the bench... she wants to play all the time... working on our outfield skills...
She pitched and hit well....
