Colorado Phoenix Softball

Congratulations to our four 2014 graduates (and one 2013 holdover). Best wishes for their college careers and beyond!

The team had a great weekend in Gunnison, reaching the championship game and taking 2nd place with a 4-2 record. The players won the semi-final in dramatic fashion: Trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the final inning, Leah hit a two-run triple, scoring Mo B. and Cassie, then Kaylee plated Leah with a clutch single. Terrific performances all around on defense. Congratulations to the winning team, the Cardinals (Sand) 18A, and all the girls for a phenomenal tournament!

The team went 4-1 and took 5th place at the Berthoud Blaze, a tournament marked by hot sun, bitter cold and gale-force winds. In other words, a typical Colorado weekend. The bats came alive: We won the Scoring Differential (5.2) and Best Scoring (9.8), helped by a home run from Leah Huizenga. The fields were located near Johnson's Corner, which meant that many cinnamon rolls were consumed. Great weekend!
