one runner stealing 3rd, and picked another off 1st base with help from
Brytish at short and Kendall at 1st. The game was
tied 0-0 through 4 innings. In the final inning, Kendall got a single on one out,
and advanced on passed balls and scored on a wild pitch as Ashley walked. Kesha laid down a suicide squeeze

single in the 2nd, advanced on a ground out followed by a single from Kelsea, and scored on a
suicide squeeze by Kendall.

Pool Game
4 - vs Texas Starz Blue. Aces won 15-0.
Due to a team dropping out, the Aces picked up an extra pool game
against a team from a different pool. The game went only 3
innings, as the Aces scored 2 runs in the first, 10 in the second, and
3 more in the 3rd. The Starz had one hit in the bottom of the
3rd, and one reached on an intentional walk, but both were left
stranded. The Aces combined for 11 hits, including 3 from Kesha, two each from Kelsea and Morgan, and one from each from Ashley, Amber, Kendall, and Lindsey.
Pool Game
5 - vs Texas Blitz. Aces won 10-0.
The Aces scored early in this game, as Brytish
led off with a single, and advanced on a single by Morgan, and scored on a single by Rhiannon. Amber reached on a fielder's
choice, and Morgan and Amber scored on wild pitches.
Megan and Ashley walked in the 2nd, and Brytish reached on a fielder's
choice. Megan scored on
an error, and Brytish scored
on a wild pitch. The Blitz led off with a single in the 2nd, and
after a strikeout, the lead runner was retired on a fielder's
choice. The runner got to 2nd on a wild pitch. Then on a
single up the middle, Brytish in
center field threw home to get the runner (Kelsea's cousin Lyssa!) at
the plate and keep the Aces record of runs scored against during pool
play to ZERO! The Aces scored 5 runs in the 3rd, as Morgan was hit by a pitch. Rhiannon followed with a single,
and a fielder's choice failed to get the lead runner at 3rd and loaded
the bases. Kendall reached
on an error as one run scored, and Megan
walked for another run. Kelsea then cleared the bases with
a 3-run triple!
Bracket
1 - vs Cy-Fair Intruders (Parrish). Aces lost 3-4 in ITB.
The Aces went undefeated in pool, and advanced to the single
elimination bracket. The Intruders went up 1-0 in the 1st with
two singles. In the third, an Intruder batter reached on an
error, and scored on a 2-out single for unearned run. For the
Aces, Kendall hit a double in
the 2nd, and Megan hit a
single in the 3rd, and Morgan hit
a single in the 4th, but the Aces couldn't string the hits together to
do anything. Finally, in the top of the 6th, Kelsea singled on one out, and Brytish singled after a second
out. Lindsey rallied on
two outs with a single that drove in two runs to tie the game. In
the 7th inning tiebreaker, Morgan advanced
on a sac bunt by Rhiannon, and
scored on a single by Amber,
but the Aces left two runners stranded. In the bottom of the
inning, the Intruders moved their runner to 3rd on a sac bunt. A
hit to 2nd failed to get the runner going home and tied the score once
again. The runner moved to 2nd on another sac bunt, and a single
up the middle sent the winning run across the plate. It was a
disappointing loss, but still not bad for the first outing of the year.
