Our girls slipped into the loser's bracket last night in suffering a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Lompoc. In the extreme heat and humidity the girls played a great game and Caitlin was brilliant in allowing just one hit. Lompoc scored two in the 1st inning and North Shore came back with one in the 4th. We had several chances to tie and win the game but couldn't quite get the big hit. Mariel was called out (questionable) attempting to score on a sacrifice fly by Hannah in the 5th, and Emma laid down a perfect bunt with two out in the 6th, that would have driven in the tying run, but was out by an eyelash at 1st.
So, with the loss, we'll have to play up to three games today and four games tomorrow to advance to Sunday. But our girls have been resilient with great determination all year, so I'm confident they will all give it their best today! Our first game will be against the Oregon Fever at 10am. With a win we'll take on the Orcutt Renegade at 4pm and (with a win) Santa Paula or Big John's Pizza at 6pm.
It's getting slightly cooler with temperatures projected to be in the mid 90's today. Stay tuned and keep the faith!!
