Mother's Day Invitational
Saturday, May 11 BombSquad hit Lakewood Park for the CABA Mother's Day Invitational. First game of the day was against the Highlands Ranch Bulldogs. BombSquad hit, threw and slid their way to a 6 - 1 victory. Second game of the cold and moist day was against the Chatfield Rockers. Another quick victory at 14 - 0 sent us on our way home for the day. We wait now on this cold Mother's Day as games are delayed an hour.
Battle at the Fort
BombSquad hit the field on May 4 for the Battle at the Fort. An early 8am game against one of the #1 teams in the state, the Eaton Reds, was a hard fought battle. BombSquad took the early lead for the first several innings. One big hit for Eaton and they jumped ahead winning the battle 12 - 5. Little time in between games and the boys were fueled and ready to go against Hitstreak Elite. The boys rallied a win here with a score of 11 - 4. Wait for Day 2....
Sunday morning arrives with another 8am game against the Boulder Bison Purple. BombSquad pulled out a good win with a score of 4 - 0 against a tough, local 14 year old team. Because of our seeding, we are now faced to play against the Eaton Reds. With our fearless leader out of state, the coahces stepped IN and the players stepped UP. Eaton took an early 8 - 1 lead through the 5th inning. Things didn't look in our favor, yet the boys played their hearts out with intensity and a true competitive spirit. Not quite sure the order of things, but BombSquad starting creeping in and the tightening the score. Before you know it the socre is 8 - 6, then 10 - 8 BombSquad, then 10 - 10, then 12 - 10 BombSquad, then 12 - 12........then BombSquad, after 2 extra innings, a 3 hour game, comes out with the WIN at 15 - 12! Probably the best played BombSquad game ever! Now the boys have ot head straight in to the semi-finals of the Championship bracket of the 14 DU2. BombSquad fought hard however lost to ProSwing 6 - 2. Great job BombSquad....3rd Place in the top bracket!!
