3rd Place at Intersportcup

The Heat had a good day on the diamond and took a fine 3rd place in Nyköping at the Intersportcup this week end. We opened with a loss to a strengthened Stoeryd team, then won convincingly against Stockholm only to record a loss in the semifinals to a strong Leksand club. Once again the team hit well getting 44 hits on 75 at bats (.587) and scoring 29 runs over 12 innings of play.

Trey had a perfect day getting 7 hits in 7 at bats! Noah followed closely with 6 hits in 7 at bats or a .857 average on the day. Henke (.714), Daniel (.667) and David (.600) all hit for a better average than the team average, well done.

However as Hasse always says, we win the game on defense! Against Stockholm we allowed only 4 runs in 4 innings! an impressive defensive showing during the entire game. Unfortunately against Stoeryd and Leksand we allowed a combined 30 runs over 8 innings!

Hitting statistics for the day:
Trey 1.000 7/7
Noah .857 6/7
Henke .714 5/7
Daniel .667 4/6
David .600 3/5
Vincent .571 4/7
Mattias .500 3/6
Jordan .500 3/6
Julia .429 3/7
Leo .400 2/5
Cornelius .333 2/6
Willie .333 2/6

A job well done team! Again we had a great crowd travel to the tournament so thank you parents for taking the time to cheer the team in the cold windy conditions.
