ASA Nationals - Midland, TX
Pool Schedule
Bracket
Silverstreak ended a great season with a 3-3 showing in their first appearance a Nationals. The team learned how close, and how far they are from winning a national championship. The tournament started with a tight 2-1 loss in a very winnable game against the t-9th place Birmingham Thunderbolts, followed by a win against the Odessa Impact. The loss to Birmingham gave the team a 3 seed, and set a difficult path to the title. In the first bracket game was against another team tied for 9th, the Wellington Wild from Florida and the most difficult pitcher the team faced. Once in the losers bracket, the team had to win 13 games to get to the title. They had two fantastic comeback wins that showed a lot of poise and grit to play their way to Friday. Then they lost a game that was disappointing. The team came out flat on offense, sloppy on defense, and failed to take advantage of opportunities. The team failed to turn any of the 8 base runners in the first four innings into runs, and helped the Impact put runs on the board.
In all, it was a great experience for the team, and it really opened their eyes to how hard they have to work to compete with the best teams in the country.
This was the last tournament for Silverstreak, as coach Michele Granger is moving to the new Team California Demarini organization. Many of the Silverstreak girls may find a home on the new 14U and 16U teams.

Wellington pitcher Gabbee Draney controlled the game, shutting out Silverstreak over 7 innings, striking out 6 and allowing only one hit. Silverstreak leadoff hitter Nina Cook singled to left to start the game. Taylor Haynes sacrificed Nina to second, but a pair of strikouts ended the threat.

Thursday
Silverstreak 4 - Illinois Outlaws Silver 2 box
Neither team scored in the first, but in the top of the second, Silverstreak came a little unraveled. After a walk and a sacrifice, a Silverstreak error and another walk left the bases loaded with one out. An outlaw single brought in one run and a fielding error on the play added another to give the Outlaws a 2-0 lead going into the bottom of the second. Lali Garza singled, and Taylor Haynes doubled her to third, but a pair of strikeouts ended the threat. In the bottom of the third, Nina Cook continued her hot hitting with a triple to the fence and scored on Kelli Bates sac bunt to cut the Outlaw lead in half, 2-1 after 3 innings. The Outlaws threatened again in the top of the fourth, but Nina Cook and Delanie Chrisman each gunned down runners at home to end the threats. In the bottom of the fourth, Silverstreak continued to chip away. Lali Garza led off with a single, took second on a passed ball and third on a Kady Poulos groundout. With 2 outs, Shaylyn Borowiak laid down a great bunt and reached base on the throwing error as Lali crossed the plate to tie the game 2-2. In the fifth, Sammi Strong reached on a error, and Baylee Opperman sacrificed her to second. Sammi moved to third on Katie Quist's groundout. The Outlaws decided to pitch around a 2 for 2 Lali Garza, issuing a full count walk without giving her a decent pitch. Lali moved to second base without a play. With 2 outs, and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Taylor Haynes struck out, but the ball hit the ground, and Taylor sprinted to first, evading the tag. The Outlaw catcher evidently didn't realize there were two outs, and elected to hold Sammi at third instead of throwing Taylor out. Sammi got caught off third and got in a pickle. Sammi evaded the tag for several throws and the ball was thrown out into left field as she tried to slide back into 3rd. Sammi and Lali both scored on the overthrow to give Silverstreak a 4-2 lead. Shaylyn Borowiak and the defense settled in after the 2nd inning, allowing only a single hit over the last 5 innings to close the door for the win and keep Silverstreak hopes alive. Nina Cook went 4 for 4 with a triple, and Lali Garza was 2 for 2 and scored 2 runs.
Silverstreak 7 - San Jose Sting 5 box
Silverstreak faced the Sting for the third time this season. Silverstreak won the first game 9-4, and the Sting won the rematch, knocking Silverstreak out of the Memorial Day Tournament with a 2-0 win. In a win or go home game, the Sting came out first. After a scoreless first innings, Silverstreak also came up empty in the top of the second. In the bottom of the second, the Sting got on the board with a single, a walk, and a throwing error for a 1-0 lead. Silverstreak could not take advantage of Micaela Martinez's single in the third, but a single and double from the Sting gave them a 2-0 lead after three innings. Silverstreak went down 1-2-3 in the fourth, and the Sting turned a pair of singles and an error into two more runs for a 4-0 lead after 4 innings. Both teams went down quietly in the fifth, but in the 6th, Silverstreak finally got on the board. Kelli Bates singled to end an 0 for 10 tournament, and after a pair of fielder's choice plays, Lali Garza doubled to drive in Baylee Opperman from first to make the score 4-1. The Sting got the run back in the bottom of the sixth, with a pair of singles and a passed ball to give them a seemingly insurmountable 5-1 lead going into the 7th inning.
With one out, Delanie Chrisman broke out of her slump with a single, followed by Micaela Martinez's 3rd single of the game. Nina Cook followed with an rbi single to cut the lead to 5-2.

Shaylyn Borowiak shut the door in the 8th with a pair of strikeouts to preserve the win.
Friday
Spring-Klein Impact 7 - Silverstreak 3 box
Silverstreak's final game ended in disappointment, as the team failed to advance at Nationals. The opposing pitcher created openings for Silverstreak by walking 7 and hitting a batter as Silverstreak sent 5 batters to the plate in each of the first four innings. While the Impact pitcher was putting runners on for free, no one was able to earn their way on, as Silverstreak did not get their first hit of the game until the 6th inning. Silverstreak defense was sloppy, with 4 errors contibuting to the Impact offense. In the 3rd, their leadoff hitter reached on an error. After a sacrifice, a walk and a hit, the bases were loaded with one out. Another single broke the 0-0 tie and left the bases loaded. After a fly ball for the second out, Impact 1B Jessica Taylor crushed a triple to left to clear the bases and give the Impact a 4-0 lead. In the fourth, a walk and a pair of passed balls put a runner at third with no outs for the Impact. An error allowed the run to score and put a runner at first. After a single, an error on a fly ball resulted in two more runs to give the impact a 7-0 lead after 4. Sydnie Hersh came in to pitch and kept the Impact in check the rest of the way, but Silverstreak had a long way to climb. In teh sixth, Lali Garza walked and then Delanie Chrisman crushed a two run HR way over the left field fence to put Silverstreak on the board 7-2. In the 7th, Kelli Bates bunted her way on and scored on Baylee Oppermans single to bring Silverstreak within 4 with one out. Ciera Begley's hard line drive was caught by the right fielder, who doubled off Baylee at first to end the game.

Shaylyn cruised through the rest of the game on the way to a 5 hit shutout.
Silverstreak 12 - Lokahi 5 box

Ciera Begley then singled into the right-center gap to score Lali and Katie for a 12-5 lead. One more inning of sloppy defense earned the team a short practice session at the end of the tournament.

Firecrackers pitcher Olivia Sanchez controlled the outside corner and the game, striking out nine and holding Silverstreak to 4 hits over 7 innings. Silverstreak pitcher Shaylyn Borowiak threw a solid game, holding the Firecrackers to 6 hits over 6 innings, but the defense wasn't sharp enough for the win. Firecrackers scored in the second following a walk and an error on a close play at the plate. They made it 2-0 in the third as the leadoff hitter reached on an error and was doubled home by Firecrackers pitcher Olivia Sanchez, who also scored to make it 3-0.

Saturday
Silverstreak 3 - San Jose Lady Sharks 1 box
The Sharks loaded the bases with no outs on a hit and a pair of errors in the second, but Silverstreak pitcher Shaylyn Borowiak and the defense escaped without giving up a run. The Sharks threatened again in the third, but this time they scored a run on three hits. Sharks pitcher Sam Torres shut out Silverstreak two weeks ago in the RR Gold tournament, and the Sharks decision to play their outfielders in tight paid off as they robbed Silverstreak of hits in the second and third. Down 1-0 going into the bottom of the fourth, Kelli Bates reached on an error, and Sam Strong made the Sharks pay for the tight outfield as she floated a fly ball over the center fielder to score Kelli and tie the game. In the top of the 6th, the Sharks had runners as 1st and 2nd with one out. On a base hit, the runner from 2nd headed home, but Delanie Chrisman's throw home beat the runner, and Silverstreak ran her down in a pickle to end the threat. The score remained tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the 7th. Baylee Opperman singled to start the inning, and Sydnie Hersh singled as well. After a passed ball moved them to 2nd and 3rd, Delanie Chrisman sent a 1-2 pitch into the left center gap to score both runners and win the game.
Breeze '96 6 - Silverstreak 3 box
Last week in Metros, the Breeze were unable to overcome an early defecit against Silverstreak, who went on to qualifiy for ASA Nationals. This week, Silverstreak dug themselves the early hole, with 4 first innings walks, 2 passed balls and a costly error. Silverstreak got two outs on the first three pitches, but after a walk and two missed defensive opportunities, the bases were loaded. The Breeze scored their first two runs on a walk and a passed ball, before 1B Ashley Dufrense hit a two run single to give the Breeze a 4-0 lead. Silverstreak pitcher Sydnie Hersh came in and struck out the next batter to finally end a brutal first inning. Sydnie cruised through the next two innings, and did a great job of keeping a dangerouse Breeze lineup off balance. In the top of the third, Sydnie Hersh led off with a double and scored on Kelli Bates single to get Silverstreak on the board 4-1. In the top of the fourth, Baylee Opperman walked, and Taylor Haynes reached on a throwing error. After Katie Quist drew a walk to load the bases, Sydnie Hersh singled in two more runs to bring Silverstreak within 1, at 4-3. The Breeze extended their lead with solid hitting in the 6th as time expired. Congratulations to the Breeze, who also won their next three games to qualify for PGF Nationals.
