In the championship game, the Shamrocks took on a tough Lake Leelanau St. Mary’s team, unfortunately for the Shamrocks they came up short to lose 4-2 in 6 innings. The team had 10 hits total in the game and they were led by Rylee Scheurer and Mattie Honsowitz, who each went 2-for-3.

Mattie Honsowitz started the game pitching through the first 3 innings and took the loss for the game. Natalee Teachworth finished the final 3 innings of the game. They each recorded 2 strikeouts.

We always enjoy this tournament as we grow together as a team and have fun with team bonding and family time. Friday night festivities started with the annual baseball versus softball minute to win-it tournament and once again the softball team took home the trophy!
