Tradition Showcase - Gettin' Our Money's Worth with 6 Games

A great weekend in Wallingford, CT this past weekend at the Tradition Showcase.  Friday's game was cancelled after heavy rains rendered the fields a giant puddle.  On Saturday, the Heat faced the Nightmare Elite out of Albany, NY and dropped a 6-0 decision as the ladies were held to just 2 hits in the game.  The second game of pool play would have the Heat against the MA Raiders Gold and despite holding the Raiders to just 3 hits, we could not overcome a messy 4th inning where the opposition rallied for 5 unearned run on just two hits.  Final score was 5-1 and that left the Heat in the "Consolation Bracket" for Sunday.  But with something to play for on Sunday for the first time this season, the ladies came up big with three straight wins over the NH Elite (6-5), MA Raiders Elite (3-2) and the Cheshire Wildcats (7-0) to get to the Final Game of the Consolation bracket against Total Kaos.  After a long day of timely hitting, the big hit escaped us in the final and the Heat lost 5-0 to end a long, successful day for the ladies and send us off on that LOOOONG ride home.
