Sunny Groom pitched two solid innings in the semi final game holding off our opponents to allow Glory to pull ahead. Paisley Hill held it down at first base and also laid down a beautiful bunt to advance the winning run to third in the final inning of the championship game. Jaime Lyon did her job perfectly at second base, center field, and at the plate. Lyla Potts tossed a no hitter in our first bracket game sending the 3rd place team to the losers bracket. She also closed the semi final game and threw the championship game keeping our opponents batting average to just .091, and the defense did not a commit an error.
