It's no fun getting up at 5:30 in the morning and making it most of the way to Spokane and THEN finding out the games have been canceled because of rain. The 12U girls made the best of it and spent some of the morning fine-tuning their batting skills at practice...
Sunday brought less rain, and even a little bit of sun, but an even earlier morning with an 8:00 a.m. game against the hosts, the Spokane Cougars. It was a battle that ended with a close loss, 6-7. This loss put the 12U girls into the Silver Bracket and a 10:00 a.m. game against the Lakesiders.
Wildfire won game 2 against the Lakesiders (10-3)*, game 3 against Crush 99 (8-1)*, and then finally game 4 against the Great Falls Selects (9-4)* to earn 1st place in the Silver division.
Kudos to Betty C for finishing game 4 with a fat lip from a hit to the face with the ball. (She struck out the next batter).
* NOT official scores... so may not be 100% accurate.
