Bracket 4 - vs CenTex Babes 18U.  Aces lost 3-5 in ITB.
The Aces returned still in the winners bracket on Sunday morning, to face the much older Babes team.  Their girls were actually teasing some of our girls for being so young.  However, things got serious as they realized the Aces were there to play ball.  In the first, Rhiannon struck out the first two batters before walking one, but the next batter grounded out back to the pitcher.  On two outs, Rhiannon hit a hard shot to 2nd and reached on the error, but was left stranded.  The Babes led off with a single in the 2nd, and the lead runner was forced out at 2nd.  Rhiannon struck out another, and a batter reached on error, but two were left stranded.  In the bottom of the 2nd, the Aces were 3-up-3-down.  The Babes were also 3-up-3-down in the top of the 3rd as Rhiannon struck out two and one popped up to Megan behind the plate.  In the bottom of the 3rd, the Aces were hitting the ball hard and causing the Babes to make errors, as Stephanie and Lindsey both reached base.  Kendall bunted the runners into scoring position for the 2nd out, and Rhiannon tripled to score two runs and put the Aces in the lead.  Rhiannon was left stranded at 3rd.  In the 4th, the Babes led off with a double, and singled to advance the runner to 3rd.  The next batter doubled to tie up the score.  After a sac bunt and a pop up, Rhiannon walked one.  The next batter singled to put the Babes up by one before the side was retired.  Megan singled in the bottom of the 4th, and advanced on a sac bunt by Kesha.  Sarah reached on error as Megan scored to tie the game again.  The Babes led off with a single in the 5th, but the runner was forced out and one was left stranded.  With time running out, the Aces had a chance to put the game away in regulation, as Kendall walked on one out, and Rhiannon followed with a single.  However, a fly out and a strike out forced the game into ITB.  Unfortunately, the experience really showed here as the Babes took the first pitch in ITB to the fence for two runs.  Rhiannon struck out the next, and got two ground outs, but the damage was done.  The Aces couldn't come up with anything in the bottom of the inning, but did earn a lot of respect from the players and coaches of the Babes for playing such a good game against the older girls!
