Team TFS made a very respectful showing during its first tournament of the year. We started off against the 2008 NSA A Level World Series Champions, JC Clippers 95. During the first inning, while the girls were still getting their jitters out of the way, the Clippers came on strong and scored two runs. After that, TFS buckled down and was a rock defensively. The offense came back and tied the game by scoring one run in each of the fifth and sixth innings, ending the game in a tie. Team TFS was lead offensively by Dara McLean(2-2, 1RBI) and Elizabeth Margagliotti (1-2 Double and Run scored). Defensively Team TFS was lead by Jaimee Radel who fanned 12 Clippers and allowed just 1 hit
During the second game TFS faced the Fuquay Bombs. By the end of the third inning, TFS had a three to zero lead. The Bombs rallied in the fifth inning and scored two runs but TFS held onto its lead and won the game 3 to 2. Team TFS was lead offensively by Elizabeth(2-2 2RBIs), Cyndi Overby (2-3 1Run scored) and Carly Smith(1-2, 1Run scored). Defensively Team TFS was lead by Radel who fanned 11 Bombs and allowed just 2 hits.
Sunday started with TFS facing an always tough competitor, the NC Challengers. This game turned out to be a true defensive battle. Twice TFS had runners in scoring position but, through fantastic defensive plays at home plate, the Challengers were able to keep the runs from scoring. TFS also played a strong defensive game and kept the Challengers from scoring. This nail biter ended in a zero/zero tie. Offensively Team TFS was lead by McLean(2-2). Radel led Team TFS defensively, fanning 13 Challenger batters while allowing only 3 hits.
TFS bats finally came alive during the last game and the team finished off the tournament with an 8 to 3 victory against the Triangle Lightening.
The team finished in second place with two wins, no losses and two ties – not bad starting off as undefeated! TFS or KFC, either way… GO MEAT!!!
