U14 Sonic softball team heats up with six wins
The Swift Current U14 Sonic girls softball team won six of seven games last week in exhibition and tournament action.
Tuesday, the Sonic hosted the Rosetown Angels and collected 5-3 and 8-6 wins.
They
attended
the
Moose Jaw Ice tournament over the weekend and won their first four games before being eliminated in the semi-final.
The Sonic faced a strong team from the Battlefords in their opening game but emerged with a 9-8 victory. The Sonic got down 5-0 early but clawed their way back with seven runs in the fourth inning. The game was tied at 7-7 going into the final inning and the Sonic scored two runs in the top half of the inning and held Battlefords to one in the bottom half for a 9-8 win.
The second game Saturday was against the Gravelbourg Lightning. The Sonic bats were hot early, jumping out to a 12-0 lead and then cruised to a 16-8 victory.
Sunday morning, in their first of three backto-back-to-back games, the Sonic again had hot bats early, getting a 12-1 win over the Lumsden Cubs.
In their final roundrobin game the Sonic faced the Moose Jaw U12 A Ice. The Sonic won 15-3 to win their pool with a 4-0 record.
The Sonic then faced the Tisdale Riverdogs in semi-final. Much like their first game of the tournament, the Sonic found themselves down early, but this time ran out of steam and could not muster a comeback in a 13-3 loss to Tisdale.
