The next game for the Dawgs is another pool play game on Wednesday at 6:00 pm against the Bakersfield Babes, a California team.
The error-plagued defense of yesterday fimed to solid rock today and allowed the Mighty Dawgs to grab their first win in a 4 to 0 shutout of the Bakersfield Babes in pool play action on Wednesday night. Singles by Michaela Ramsey, Anna Rohr and Shannon Claassen led the way to the win. Rachel Thies handled the pitching allowing 2 hits and striking out 3 batters.
The Dawgs first tournament game will now be at 12:00 on Thursday against the Mid-Valley Thunder from Salem, Oregon. A win here will mean another game at 4:00. A loss will mean their next game will be on Friday.
Stay Tuned.
Costly errors were again the downfall of the Mighty Dawgs in first round tornament action. The 5 to 1 defeat was at the hands of the Mid-Valley Thunder from Salem, Oregon. Tasha Weishahn, Alli Converse, Rachel Thies, Shannon Clausen and Anna Rohr all had singles. Thies pitched, striking out 10.
At 0-1 and now in the loser bracket, the Dawgs' next game will be Friday at 8:00 AM against the Rebels from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
A strong opponent coupled with very poor officiating brought the Mighty Dawgs tournament hopes to a disappointing end Friday morning. The Santa Fe Rebels defeated the Dawgs 6-0. The game was close at 2-0 when several calls benefitting the Rebels allowed them to widen their lead. Even casual spectators commented at the obvious disregard of rules and protocol displayed by the officials. The Mighty Dawgs' girls played hard until the end but the odds were too great.
The Dawgs end their tournament trip with a 1-3 record and their season with an impressive 59-11-1 record.
