9 Wildcats take 2nd in All Star tournament

9 of the 12 Wildcats finished 2nd in this past weekends All Star tournament. Two wins on Saturday gave the team a bye in the morning on Sunday. A shutout win vs. Sonoma 8-0 and a convincing win vs. Middletown with first time starter Saja in the circle. Sunday first game brought a familiar opponent in Mark West. A convincing win vs. a talented Mark West squad put the Wildcats in the Championship game Sunday afternoon. The girls fought hard for the full 7 innings against a fired up talented Santa Rosa squad. Unforced errors on basic plays put the girls down early. A middle inning rally saw the girls take the lead in the middle innings. They could not hold on as bats fell silent and a few key mistakes crippled their effort. 2nd place trophies for all after only 3 weeks of practice together. A few of the girls shined brightly in the tournament, Hillary was 6-10 at the plate and played SS for all 4 games. Taylor was 7-10 at the plate and pitched 3 complete games going 2-1 over the weekend. Haley went 6-11 at the plate, caught almost 4 complete games. Shale was 5-10 at the plate and played 3rd base all four games and made all of the plays in limited chances. Mackenzie warmed up after a slow start on Saturday to finish 5-12 at the plate and controlled both CF and 2nd base. Back to the practice field Tuesday with the full Wildcat squad to prepare for this weekend in Petaluma.
