Sunday, bracket play, if Twisted Sisters want to win, they will have to play 3 games back to back, starting at noon. First game against Neosho Valley, they take the win with 5-4, next game against the Manhattan Bullets again, taking the win with 4-2, Bekah Benvin making the hit that drove in our winning runs.
Championship game following against Emporia Energy. The Sisters have a history with the Energy, last year going back and forth on wins with them, so after playing two games already, the Sisters are PUMPED to beat this team. Before the game had even started, the trash talk had already started, as it always does with softball, but it only made the Sisters want the win more. The score remained zero/zero for the first two innings, then in the 3rd innings, TS score 3 runs. By the 6th inning, TS easily held the energy and took the win at 3-0, beating the team that placed 2nd in their state tournament, putting Twisted Sister record now at 21 wins and 3 losses!! This amazing group of girls will go to Topeka July 18-20 to compete in the state tournament where we are hoping for a great success.
