Brase Sports Update 1/24 - 1/25

Hello Everyone !

What a weekend it was for Ms. Kylie !! She had a basketball game and a huge softball tournament this weekend. Let's go to the details. We'll go in order.
The Brase family got up at 4:45 am Saturday to head up to San Clemente for the Huntington Beach Triple Crown Classic. Had to be there at 6:30am. It was cold and wet. Anyway, Legacy was ready to go. Kylie started at 2B. She played really well. Had several put outs and actually almost threw out a girl at home from her knees !! Very cool ! She had one at bat and fouled out. Legacy lost that game 2-0 to So Cal Wicked. Legacy played back to back. Next game was against Corona Xpress. Kylie didn't play unfortunately. Legacy lost again 2-0. The good thing was we had time to get back home and Kylie was able to play in her Basketball game. Busy busy !

It was the Power Rangers (Ky's team) vs. the Hot Chicks. It was a tight game all the way through. The Power Rangers were were trailing by 5 at halftime. Kylie had great defense. Shutting down her opponent. The PR's took a 4 point lead, but ended up losing 33-30. Kylie ended up with 12 points !

Sunday, we got up early and headed back to the Triple Crown. Come to find out no other team in our pool had won a game either. So, if we win the first game, we take first seed !
The first game was against one of Kylie's oldest rivals. Yes, she is only 12, but the have been at it since 6 ! Anyway, Kylie started 2B and played fantastic. She is becoming quite a leader on the field.
It was a very close game. Legacy went up 1-0. They really needed at least one more run. Kylie came up, took a couple pitches and then absolutely CRUSHED the ball !! A HUGE bomb over the CF head ! She got a stand up triple to start the inning. Her shoe was falling off while she was running around the bases. Oh what could have been ! Click here to see the Bomb. But, the next pitch went passed the catcher and she scored !! Legacy went on to win 3-0 with the #1 seed in hand !
The first game in bracket play was against the OC Wildcats. Could not wait for Legacy to play them. The parents on that team were so stuck up !!
Kylie started 2B and was moved up in the line up. Kylie had a great game ! She also had another bomb that drove in a run. Click here to see it. Legacy looked great again ! Legacy 5, OC Wildcats 0.
Legacy was starting to really come together. Next up was The Valley Tribe. This was a crazy game ! Kylie started at 2B again. This was a tight game. Valley Tribe is rated in the Top 15 in Socal. Their defense was awesome. We played them hard. Kylie crushed the ball twice, unfortunately it was close to their SS. Their SS had to be one of the better players I've seen. Kylie got out twice. Anyone else, 2 hit game ! The game was tied 2-2 in the last inning and Legacy just ran out of gas. There were huge errors and huge bombs by the other team. Legacy goes down 10-2. But, it was a great time and Kylie had a blast.
Hopefully, there will be some Nick Sports news soon. Still waiting to hear from his coach. I did take him to the Batting Cages and he had a lot of fun. So now, I have every Wednesday reserved for cage time for both kids !!

See you next week !!
