It's been a busy few weeks for the Heat. Two weekends ago, the ladies competed in the Massachusetts NSA State Championship and came home with a 3rd place finish in a 13 team pool. Saturday's action saw victories over the Northeast Hurricanes Red and the EMass Panthers to advance to the winners bracket final against the Raiders Gold. It was a tough game for the blue and gold as the Heat dropped a 13-2 decision to the Raiders. To the losers bracket final we went and despite a valiant last inning comeback including Dee's 3 run homerun, the ladies fell short by a score of 8-7 and finished the weekend in 3rd.
This past weekend, the Heat traveled to Ewing, NJ to play in the Newtown Rock Showcase, a tournament that had 120 teams in action. It was a rewarding weekend for the ladies as they played their best softball of the season en route to going 3-1 in the two days. Saturday saw temps reach 107 degrees on the field. With the right team name for the occasion, the Heat disposed of the South Jersey Cobras (5-4) and the Lenape Valley Fury (6-5). The third game of the day was cancelled due to heat index reaching 115 degrees. Sunday morning cooled down to a brisk 92 degrees and the Heat battled to a 4-2 victory over the Long Island Silver Bullets before losing their only game of the weekend, 3-2 to the New Jersey Mystique.
This weekend we will be hosting the Barbara Hamilton Memorial Tournament. It will be good to be close to home.
