Other 14U bracket winners were 14U Young Guns over Dickinson Slammers, Katy Force over No Limit, and Texas Rookies over Pearland Kruzers.  The Aces were waiting to play the Young Guns, and the Force were scheduled to play the Rookies, when the tournament was called.

Pool Game 2 - vs Pearland Kruzers.  Aces won 3-0.
Rhiannon pitched another no-hitter in the 2nd pool game.  The Aces got two quick outs on a bunt to Kendall at 1st and a grounder to Rhiannon.  One batter reached on an Aces error, then Rhiannon walked two (the umpire did not give much of a strike zone) to load the bases.  However, the runner on 2nd was called out on the look-back rule.  The Aces got two quick outs in the 2nd, then Ashley was hit by a pitch.  Kesha followed with a walk.  Rhiannon knocked in one run with a single before the side was retired.  The Kruzers had one baserunner on a walk in the 2nd.  On one out, Emily hit a triple, and came home on a single by Megan.  The Kruzers had one more baserunner in the 3rd on a walk, but the runner was caught stealing 3rd.  In the bottom of the inning, Ashley hit a single on one out, and Rhiannon brought her home with another single, putting the Aces on top 3-0 when time expired.

Bracket 1 - vs Bizerk.  Aces won 4-2.
The weather was cold and it was raining as we played our first bracket game.  Lana Jo struggled in the cold rain, and walked the lead-off batter.  After one hit and another walk, Stephanie caught a fly ball in center field for the 1st out, and threw the ball in quick to hold the runner at 3rd.  Lana Jo walked in a run, and Rhiannon came in to finish the inning.  Stephanie led off with a single, but was caught going for extra bases.  In the 2nd, after a strikeout, Rhiannon walked one and allowed a hit up the middle for two baserunners. Kesha caught a line drive in left field for the 2nd out, but an Aces error on the next batter allowed one run to score.  Megan led off with a single in the 2nd, and Emily walked.  Kelsea grounded out to advance both runners to scoring position.  Kesha hit into a fielder's choice, which caught Megan trying to come home. Rhiannon hit a double to bring home 2 runs and tie the score 2-2 before the side was retired.  Bizerk was 3-up-3-down in the 3rd with one groundout to Amber and two to Rhiannon.  On one out in the 3rd, Amber hit a single and advanced to 2nd on a groundout. Then Megan cranked one over the fence in left field to put the Aces on top 4-2.  What a homerun!  (Megan got to keep the ball!) Emily followed with a single and Kelsea walked, but both were left stranded.  The Aces got the Bizerk 3-up-3-down again in the 4th, with a strikeout, a groundout to Kendall at 1st, and a groundout to Megan at 3rd.  Way to play Aces!  And again, congratulations Megan on that out-of-the-park HOMERUN!  That was the Aces first-ever out-of-the-park shot in a game.
