Colville vs Connell For All The Marbles!

"I love softball" one more time!
The championship game...2:30.....
Connell vs Colville.
Last year this same matchup happened in the
semi-final games in Spokane.  Connell came out on top
after 9 innings, 7-6.  Colville is ready to avenge the loss and take
the title for their own.
Before the game pep-talk from none other than Paxton.
The National Anthem was played again, before the Championship Game.
Good luck to both teams, and may the better team prevail.

She was laughing here because the ball went up her arm and she
was able to keep it from dropping to the ground...ROBBING a
batter from a hit!  Game saver kind of defensive play!!

There's dad, sitting on the Colville side, where he can see the game best.
He has earplugs in so he doesn't have to hear comments being made!

The end of the 8th inning the game was tied.  Kansas City Overtime rules
went into effect.  Both teams get to bat but start their inning with a runner at
2nd base, no outs.  At the bottom of the 9th inning, Colville was ahead by 1.
