After a rough first couple of games in pool play our girls came out like the District Champs they are by winning three straight bracket games to reach the Championship game of the Escondido Freedom Tournament. This was our 6th Championship game in eight tournaments this season.
It all started with an improbable five run last inning comeback against WAGS Saturday morning. followed by a 13-0 pounding of Menifee in the first elimination game Saturday afternoon. After a night of fireworks the girls brought sparks to the field Sunday morning in blowing out State participant Escondido 10-1 in the quartefinals, running, bunting and hitting brilliantly! It was on to the semi against nemisis Santee who had beaten us 4-0 in pool play. It was a fabulous see saw battle which saw North Shore down 3-2 heading to our final at bat. Caitlin's line single led things off, then Emily bombed a clutch double to tie the score with two out. Kylie dropped one into right field to bring home Emily with the winner 5-4. The girls played powerhouse Bonita Valley tough through six innings before falling in the finals 8-1.
Our girls battled the heat and early adversity to show us the competitiors and champions they really are. Now...on to States!!
