Championship Finalist - San Dieguito Memorial Day Classic

Judy's Photos

Another great weekend for the North Shore 12 Gold team! After breezing through pool play (3-0) and a quarterfinal mercy victory our girls battled a tenacious La Costa team in the semi finals and came away with a 4-2 win. We had another epic extra inning Championship game, this time against the 2008 7th place in Nationals powerhouse Moorpark, from Simi Valley. After a 0-0 pitcher's duel through five innings Moorpark broke ahead with a run in the 6th, but our "never say die" girls tied in in the bottom of the 6th 1-1. After each team had chances denied by great defense Moorpark pushed across two runs in the extra eighth inning to go ahead 3-1. North Shore had the tying runs on base in the bottom half but couldn't quite break through this time. Kudos to Caitlin for another brilliant pitching performance!

Our girls battled a very good team and should all be proud of their performances (Overall they outscored their opponents 42-8 over the 5-1 weekend!). Games like this help us to see the areas we need to work on to get better...and work we will in our short week before our trip to Torrance.

Great job ladies! Thanks to Coach Ana, Karen and Kelly, plus our awesome fans! Here are the weekend's scores:

North Shore - 5, La Costa - 3
North Shore - 9. Imperial Beach - 0
North Shore - 14, Peninsula - 0
North Shore - 9, Imperial Beach - 0
North Shore - 4, La Costa - 2
Moorpark - 3, North Shore - 1 (8 innings)
