2010 Super Skagit June Invite 14U Champions.The Ramsay Lampman Rhodes Breakers 95 Bantam B team won the 14U division in Mount Vernon, WA over the weekend of June 19-20, 2010. On Saturday the team played round-robin games against the Rising Stars (won 8-1), Skagit Valley Thunder (lost 6-4), and Baker 14U (won 10-3). The team's 2 wins and 1 loss earned them the 2nd seed for the play-off games. Although the team was the number 2 seed coach Johnson was not pleased with the girls' level of focus and intensity during the round-robin games. The playoff games were single elimination and the girls were losing 1-0 for the first three innings to the Rising Stars in the first playoff game. Although the girls seemed a bit nervous they persevered and got their offense going to win 9-2. In the semi-final game the team again faced Baker 14U. Jamie Belfry provided solid pitching for the Breakers in this game and the team's offense continued from the previous game. Danielle Powell had a grand-slam home run and Hayley Craddock had a three-run home run in the team's 18-2 mercy win after 4 innings. The opponent for the "Gold Medal game" was Skagit Valley Thunder, the number 1 seed and the team that had beat the Breakers on Saturday. There was no question as to the Breakers' focus and intensity for the final game. The offense exploded in the first inning for 14 runs with every player contributing! The next inning the team obtained the one run they needed after providing solid defense behind the stellar pitching of Hayley Craddock to earn the mercy win in two and half innings. Girls, your excellent performance on Sunday was rewarded and appreciated by your coaches and fans!!
