Desert Ice Fastpitch entered this California College Showcase event and went 4-1 in their Pool. Nice showing for their 2nd event with this organization with the hopes to earn some respect and a better bracket for more College Recruiter exposure. Desert Ice was without their starting SS and one of their main Catchers both of which bring solid defense and a big stick to any event. Not bad for being undermanned.
The first game of the STYFL PeeWee division Playoffs and unfortunately for the Eagles, their last. The Eagles defense did a valiant job taming the Rams’ arsenal of powerful running backs, keeping the score tied 6-6 for much of the game. But an early 4th quarter breakaway play by the Rams put them in the lead 6-12. The Eagles did mount an impressive offensive drive in the last minutes of the game, with several conversions but ultimately came up short.
Being an Eagle parent, it was a disappointing loss, but our boys played one heck of a game and the Rams came away with a well deserved victory.
