MRPGS takes 2nd in the Ramsey Invitational Softball Tournament

MRPGS 12U played Fair Lawn in the Championship Game of the Ramsey Invitational Softball Tournament in a scorcher ultimately losing 6-3. 

MRPGS started the 16 team tournament on Friday July 12th against host town Ramsey Gold defeating them 10-5.  On Saturday July 13th in 90 degree heat, they defeated Waldwick 10-5 and lost to Lakeland 8-4 putting them 2-1.  These games determined seeding position for the 16 teams.  The brackets were divided into two 8 team brackets, the winning (gold) bracket and losing (silver bracket).  MRPGS was seeded 7th in the Gold bracket vs. the #2 seed Lakeland for a rematch on Sunday.  

On Sunday July 14th, MRPGS pitcher Francesca Buda started the morning by pitching a complete game against Lakeland taking the victory 5-3 sending them home.  Then they faced the host team Ramsey Gold again in the semi-finals with Antonella Arellano on the mound who pitched a complete game for the win 17-6 putting them into the championship game against the #1 seed Fair Lawn team who was undefeated.  

MRPGS went with Christina Schafer on the mound for the championship game.  They took a quick lead 2-0 in the top of the first and didn't give up a run until the 2nd making it 2-1.  MRPGS tacked on an additional run in the 3rd for a 3-1 lead going into the fourth where Fair Lawn scored 5 runs.  Despite a great effort by the girls, they just couldn't overcome the deficit and eventually fell 6-3.   

MRPGS would like to congratulate all the girls and coaches for a job well done.  It was extremely hot and the girls played their hearts out.  Great job.
