Three games in a row and no bats for the first two. We lost to a team from Alaska and then lost to the Old Bats from Utah before beating Oregon Reign. I pitched, Carri played field and Cynde was the flex fielder going in every inning to a different field. We have 13 players are everyone was in the game. I hit a triple and the Cynde hit me in. The ump we had for all of the games was terrible. His strike zone was inconsistent, he was slower than slow and when Cynde questioned one of the strikes he called he said he was trying to build up the pitchers confidence- such bull! Anyhow waiting for the draw to know tomorrow's game times and hoping for better results.

Well we did it! Went undefeated to win the gold medal beating the Subway Sluggers from PEI 11-4 in the final. It was a bit back in forth in the beginning we got out to a 2 zip lead then they scored 3. We were rallying with bases loaded none out and they ended up getting a triple play on a hard liner to left. I was a bit worried when that happened. Next up we loaded the bases again and our pitcher Tania hit a double to score three. We gave up one in the top of the inning and then we loaded the bases again and Rosie hit a double to give us the seven runs needed in the fifth to mercy. She had pitched the win to get us to the gold and is 55 like me so it was sweet. I started the game in right and Cynde took over for me. Marla was in left field and made a couple nice catches. We then took tons of photos and started trading with the other teams while celebrating with a beer in the beer gardens ( well rum and coke for me - yes hard stuff ...
