Kalamazoo, MI-
The Street Kids/Easton/PAS
softball team struggled in their first
NSA NIT tournament of the 2008
season in Kalamazoo this past
weekend, winning two games and
losing two games. They were
eliminated by AMD/Dick's Bar
after blowing a 13-2 lead in the fifth
inning.
They lost the opener to Pro Glass, a
veteran team from the Detroit area,
and despite bouncing back to
defeat Extreme Softball and Dukes,
they showed that there
still needs to be work
put in to get this team
to the next level, as
they blew a 13-2 lead
against AMD, just to
lose in extra innings,
19-18.
"With all do respect to
AMD, I really didn't
think anyone actually
beat us today," said
Dan Garey, making
his second tournament
appearance after an
appendectomy in March.
"We just need to click a
little more. Playing in
leagues will help that."
